Martin Schulz, 29 Mar 2024}, author = {Luhmann,Niklas}, subject = {Sense}, note = {Baraldi I 170 Sense/Luhmann/GLU: sense allows the selective production of all social and psychological forms. - The form of sense is the distinction "real"/"possible". Sense is the simultaneous presentation of news and possible. - Sense determines connectivity to additional communication. ((s) Elsewhere: is the dimension that is presented in the negation.) >Communication/Luhmann, >Understanding/Luhmann, >Meaning. Material dimension: "this"/"other" - social dimension: "ego"/"old" - time dimension: past/future. --- Reese-Schäfer II 34 Sense/Luhmann/Reese-Schäfer: the normal form of human experience. - The experience needs to select - for this serves the sense. Experience/action: is selection by sense criteria. >Action/Luhmann, >Experience/Maturana. Reese-Schäfer II 35 Definition sense/Luhmann: the meaning that has something for an observer - Futility: only possible with characters. Reese-Schäfer II 44 Sense/Luhmann/Reese-Schäfer: does not need a carrier - sense carries itself by allowing its own reproduction self-referential. Reese-Schäfer II 139 Sense/Luhmann/Reese-Schäfer: preverbal, language foundational category. >Language/Luhmann. Sense/HabermasVsLuhmann: principle linguistical - inconceivable without intersubjective validity. LuhmannVsHabermas: studies on marriage conflicts show that these cannot be solved with everyday language, because the everyday language holds both positive and negative expressions. --- AU Cass. 10 Sense/Sociology/Luhmann: Problem: if each individual produces sense, is there then a sphere of intersubjectivity? - Solution: we have to apply the sense category on two different system categories: 1. Mental systems, awareness systems that experience meaningfully. 2. Communication systems that reproduce sense in that it is used in communication. Subject: lost. - The subject is not a carrier of meaning. - Sense gets formal. - Solution: extraction through the distinction between medium and form - that means, independent of a particular system. AU Cass 10 Sense/Luhmann sense could be a constant invitation to a specific shape formation, which then is always characterized by the fact that they are formed in the medium by sense. - But these forms do not represent sense as a category at all. - The word "sense" is namely not the only thing what makes sense. AU Cass 10 Sense/Luhmann: a) in the system of consciousness - E.g. references to other options: I have the key in the pocket to unlock the door later - but sense is also the location of that reference in everything we consider as an object - b) in the communication system : to information also belongs the failure area: what surprises me? - All items have only sense in the context of other options. AU Cass 10 Sense is itself a medium - also negation takes place internally. - But sense itself is not negated. - We cannot get out. - A world in which only beetles exist would be one in which no more sense is processed - but we can imagine it only meaningfully. - We imagine the rest as rest - ( "as it would be for the human"). - ((s) Cf. Th. Nagel, What is it like to be a bat?). Animal/Luhmann: it is impossible to distinguish whether there is sense for animals. We depend on the assumption of sense. >Cf. >Animal, >Animal language. No distinction of meaning such as "factual"/"temporal"/"social" are possible. AU Cass. 10 Sense/Luhmann: no sense-needing system can be completely transparent to itself. - That, what we are as a result of a long chain of operations, which structures we have, we cannot reduce this to a formula. But instead we can imagine who we are, or we can describe it. - We also encounter quickly meaningless - that means, something that does not fit into this description. >Senseless, >Meaningless.}, note = { AU I N.
