Cognitive Sociology and the Theory of Communicative Action: The Role of Communication and Language in the Making of the Social Bond
European Journal of Social Theory 10 (3):389-408 (2007)
Abstract
A pragmatic (communication-discursive) cognitive sociology beyond observationism (Luhmann, Turner, Conein) and individualistic reductionism (Esser, Boudon) as a way to do sociology as a critical theory and as a positive science is proposed, drawing on the Habermasian theory of communicative action and its radical continuation in Luhmann's concept of the (cognitive) autopoiesis of social systems.Other Versions
