LUHMANN, Niklas und Dirk BAECKER, 2017. Die Kontrolle von Intransparenz. Berlin: Suhrkamp. Suhrkamp Taschenbuch Wissenschaft, 2231. ISBN 978-3-518-29831-2
The texts collected here from Niklas Luhmanns last creative period represent his theoretical legacy. They culminate in the title essay on the control of intransparency. Luhmann's interest is in that peculiarity of social systems that enables them to deal with knowledge as well as with non-knowledge. The question could not be more topical: it describes a social intelligence that differs from both mental intelligence and artificial intelligence. Does it mark a threshold that artificial intelligence will not cross? Or will computers find other ways to participate in communication?
