Description
"This new edition of Risk includes an outstanding essay on the enormous importance of Niklas Luhmann in contemporary social theory. The authors explain not only why he has been all but ignored in the English-speaking world, but the lasting importance of Luhmann in developing a genuinely innovative vision of the component of modern society. Stehr and Bechmann show how the author of Risk is a universal scholar located within the context of the Enlightenment and European sociology and philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
