| Tartalmi kivonat: | The paper is about a key term of Niklas Luhmann’s System Th eory: the term ‘Sense’. According to System Th eory, ‘Sense’ can be defi ned as the medium of social reality: a universal medium of the systems of consciousness and communication that enables the reduction of the world’s complexity (the environment of the systems). Th e world is made up of senseful operations, and as such it is bound to the systems also formed by these operations. Th e world as environment (the ‘outside’) and the identity of the observer (the system; the ‘inside’) are both eff ects of senseful operations. Sense is not a substance, but a relation. It is not essential but processual. Th e paper places the term ‘Sense’ in the context of some other important terms of System Th eory, like ‘medium’, ‘form’, ‘system’ ‘environment’, and also gives a brief summary of the theoretical frame, inasmuch it presents the tradition of ‘second order cybernetics’ developed by Heinz von Foerster. |
