Sistemas de pensamento como paradigma científico: problemas de reflexão da teoria do direito

Abstract

General Theory of Social Systems has been exposed to be an emerging tradition of contemporary Social Theory. Criticized, it was able to describe the social in a completely innovative way. Examples of great contributions in different fields of theoretical production are significant in Latin America – for example in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, etc., and in various European countries, Asia, United States of America and Mexico. However, there is no empirical research institute in the world that is coordinated by authors of the TGSS tradition. Beside that, the systematic of the constructivist social theory lacks its own theoretical and compatible framework with your own generalized discourses, once, regarding metatheory particularly, use as reference authors as Jeffrey Alexander, Paul Colomy, George Ritzer and Jonathan Turner, which results in a systematic of normative and overly analytical social theory. Operational constructivism is characterized, especially in view of the Luhmannian theoretical statute, by the search for an autological theory, that is, whose own concepts can be applied in the theory itself. In this context, our proposal with the present work is to contribute to this discussion using a theoretical classification proposal of Thomas Kuhn's of notion of scientific paradigm as a systems of thinking (MORIN, 1992). Therefore, the methodological apparatus of the General Systems Theory can be used, making possible a differentiation of the constructivist theory in the direction of Niklas Luhmann called the sociology of sociology.
