The Article confronts the problem of the New Age movement from the angle of Niklas Luhmann's theory of society; it proposes a correlation between the development of late-modern society and the popularity of the New Age type of knowledge. The understanding of late modern functionally differentiated societies' production of risk, contingency and complexity could be an important factor in grasping the reason for the rise of the New Age movement in a secular era.
