Biographical note
Rudolf Stichweh ist Dahrendorf-Professor für Theorie der modernen Gesellschaft und Direktor der Abteilung »Comparative Research on Democracies« am Forum Internationale Wissenschaft der Universität Bonn. Er hat(te) u.a. Professuren und Gastprofessuren in Bielefeld, Princeton und Chicago inne und war von 2006 bis 2010 Rektor der Universität Luzern. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte beinhalten die Theorie der Weltgesellschaft, soziokulturelle Evolution, funktionale Differenzierung und die Theorie der Inklusion.The radical novelty of modern society consists of the global autonomy and dynamics of communication systems such as the economy, polity, science, law, health, the arts, sport, and intimacy. They are at the core of our living environment. With this systematic study of functional differentiation in sociology, Rudolf Stichweh fills an astonishing gap in sociological research. To do so, he combines essays and case studies instructive for both practicing social scientists and the general public interested in a sociological understanding of modernity.
