Thesis (M.A.)--Carleton University (Canada), 2005.

Standing at the margins of theoretical debates in communication, at least in the Anglo-American academic community, is sociologist Niklas Luhmann (1927--1998). A towering figure in German social science, he has received relatively little attention among English-speaking scholars. The purpose of this thesis is to argue that the neglect of Luhmann's work derives from certain critical interventions which dismiss his systems theoretic model of society on the basis of its apparent lack of moral and political commitments. This is unfortunate, I would argue, as the central role which Luhmann grants to meaning, rather than action or the individual, as the most basic constitutive unit of social systems offers a very productive model of communication. This thesis therefore proposes that Luhmannian social theory deserves the sustained attention of communication scholars; this is largely carried out by situating Luhmann in conversation with two of his most strident critics, Jurgen Habermas and Jean-Francois Lyotard.
