Abstract

Niklas Luhmann's Das Recht der Gesellschaft : A New Sociology of Law ? This article is a critical study of the latest work of Niklas Luhmann on law. It combines two efforts : a presentation of the work which concentrates on the theses of its various parts (sociological observation, function, coding and opening of law, justice, evolution, juridical argumentation, the relationship of law to politics, economy and psychic individuality) and tries to situate them within the evolution of Luhmann's work ; an inquiry to find out if systemism is able to deliver a sociology which can be exposed and develop in a systematic way on the one hand, and to suggest applied sociologies (of power, economy, law...) on the other, which would not be drowned by the abstraction of systemist conceptuality.
