Abstract

In the current framework of theoretical pluralism and the search for solutions of philosophical social poststructuralism among various organizational theories, the Niklas Luhmann General Theory of Social Systems provides operational responses to diverse viewpoints and open systems with the concepts of self-referential, close operational and self-organization. However in its abstraction presents theoretical ambiguities that have not been considered in empirical observations, standing controversial issues concerning the operational closure and dehumanization of the subject.
