Niklas Luhmann on Organisation - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 257 Def Organisation/Luhmann/Habermas: Luhmann: "Social systems that make the recognition of certain expectations of behaviour a condition of membership of the system (...) should be described as formally organised. Only those who accept certain, particularly excellent expectations can become members and remain members of formally organised social systems".(1) >Systems, >Systems theory. Habermas: while the traditional state is an organization that structures society as a whole, the capitalist enterprise and modern administration are systemically independent units within norm-free subsystems. The organizations that became independent are characterized by the fact that they can make themselves independent of over-all accepted membership conditions of communicatively structured lifeworld contexts, of the conflict-prone concrete value orientations and action dispositions of the persons deported into the organizational environment.(2) 1.
