Abstract

Open peer commentary on the article “Making Sense and Meaning: On the Role of Communication and Culture in the Reproduction of Social Systems” by Raivo Palmaru. Upshot • I argue that if we decide to use the term “culture,” we need to be explicit about the problems we hope to solve in doing so. I suggest that Luhmann might have had a good reason to be hesitant to utilize the term
