From Systems to Actor-Networks: A Paradigm Shift in the Social Sciences
Andrea Belliger, David J. Krieger
Jahr: 2024
Verlag: Ethics Press International
ISBN: 1804413364
This book documents a paradigm shift, not only in the sciences but also in society. Everywhere in society systems are becoming networks. This implies not only a new understanding of social science but also of society and ourselves.
The book describes the systems model based on Luhmann’s theory of social systems and compares this to Latour’s actor-network theory. It argues that present day society cannot be successfully modeled as a system and illustrates the transformation to a global network society by citing many examples from business, education, and healthcare.
