Abstract

A new translation into Ukrainian of a classic article by the outstanding Ger­man sociologist and philosopher, the world-famous author of the original theory of social systems, Niklas Luhmann. The authors of the translation, Mykhailo Boi­chenko and Oleksandr Korol, have carefully revised the translation of both Niklas Luhmann’s basic terminology and the adequacy of the Ukrainian translation of the key provisions of Niklas Luhmann’s concept of the improbability of commu­nication.
