AU Cas 11
Observation/system/separation/method/Luhmann: an observer can observe operations and define it as a unit, which run psychologically and socially at the same time.
However, it is methodologically strange: he can identify how it appears to him naturally. - It would simply be unnatural to separate the systems. Which seems to be a contradiction to the entire system theory.
>System/Luhmann, >System theory, >Observation/operation/Luhmann.
Solution/Luhmann: clarify what is actually an observer.
Solution: there is someone who chooses theories. With that the observer occurs in his own theory again. - This is a cycle or somersault.
Cf. >Circular reasoning.
Question: Is it the everyday world or the science which determines the theory choice?
Durkheim: Social Emergence: you can explain social facts only by social facts.
