卢曼社会系统理论中的沟通

Communication in Luhmann's Theory of Social System

在卢曼宽阔宏大的社会学系统理论中,人不再是社会学研究的中心,而是被消解为社会中沟通的环境,相反,沟通成为社会系统理论的基本元素。以生物学的自我再制理论为基础,卢曼认为社会就是一个不断由沟通制造出沟通的封闭循环系统。在一个功能分化的社会里,艺术作为全社会系统中的一个次系统,是一种重要沟通的形式。以卢曼的社会系统理论作为出发点,着重探讨沟通在社会系统中的关键性作用,进而点明艺术与沟通的关联性。

In Luhmann＇s theory of social system, the person is no longer the center of sociological research, but a society communication environment. Instead, communication becomes a basic element of social system theory. On the basis of self-reproduction theory of biology, Luhmann thinks the society is a closed system which creates communication by communication. In a functional-differentiation society, the art is a sub-system, an important form of communication. This article is first based on Luhmann＇s social system theory and focuses on the key role of communication in the social system, thus pointing to the relevance of art and communication.
