Daniel Lee Associate Professor of Sociology

Book Title: Theories of Distinction : Redescribing the Descriptions of Modernity

Author: Niklas Luhmann

Selection Statement:

Luhmann writes about how improbable it is that people will share any kind of understanding. His insights have not been easy for me to grasp, but exposure has slowly changed the way I think and express myself. It is a good thing that my wife and children tolerate such change.
