Art as a Social System Luhmann NiklasPaperback
This is the definitive analysis of art as a social and perceptual system by Germany s leading social theorist of the late twentieth century. Returning to the eighteenth-century notion of aesthetics as pertaining to the knowledge of the senses, Luhmann begins with the idea that all art, including literature, is rooted in perception. It not only represents an important intellectual step in discussions of art in its rigor and in its having refreshingly set itself the task of creating a set of distinctions for determining what counts as art that could be valid for those creating as well as those receiving art works but it also represents an important advance in systems theory.
