A new project, the Undisciplined Reading Series, starts here! Every two weeks, I will upload a video discussing one chapter of a canonical legal theory text from the 20th century. The four books in the series will be by Hans Kelsen, HLA Hart, Ronald Dworkin and Niklas Luhmann.

Christian Morgner talks about his new collection of translated essays by Niklas Luhmann, titled "The Making of Meaning: From the Individual to Social Order".
