My favorite quote of Habermas ist about Luhmann’s[1] theory:
"It‘s all wrong, but it‘s got quality".
[1] the Zettelkasten person
- smooc 8mo agoI like Luhmann’s theory better. What i like about it is that Luhmann argues that the smallest denominator of a social system is a realation between two. Habermas says it can be brought down to an individual. Which in my mind defeats the “social” part.
- goodmythical 8mo agoHavin not read the underlying theory, is the society of one constructed with the belief that one has relations to one's self? That is, I could see that the idea of a society of two could be derived from a society of one in that I could extend my desire to be kind to my past, present, and future selves, to a desire to be kind to selves that are not my own. Kind of like a computing network being a generalisation of the network that exists inside anyone one machine in that networking is just i/o with more steps and more wire?
