Abstract

Modern structural society can be properly understood as a learning process that has developed socio-genetically from a more elementary social system of control in which individuals are categorized according to functionally interrelated hierarchical divisions of labour. The dominance of communicative interrelations permits individuals to leave their hierarchical categories as a result of the transfer of learning in a system of signs replacing the hierarchical structure by a semiotic structure of society. The different dimensions of the meaning of semiotic signs can be formally defined in a model of a dynamic cybernetic system which we call “society as a learning process”.
