Reframing the Social: Emergentist Systemism and Social Theory

By Poe Yu-ze Wan

Book Overview

This book explores the works of the systems theorist Mario Bunge in comparison with the approach of Niklas Luhmann and critical social systems theorists, to challenge the commonly held view that the systems-based approach is holistic in nature and necessarily downplays the role of human agency.
