Abstract
In this paper, I attempt to analyze two subjects. First, I tried to suggest some corrections to the sociological system theory of German sociologist Niklas Luhmann, and to outline a modified version of Luhmann's theoretical position, which is my concept of the systems of professional institutions. Second, 1 tried to apply this comprehensive concept to the legal system of society.
I then would like to chart the place law takes in modern societies, its nature as a confined system and its adaptation from the point of view of a comprehensive social theory, departing from the category and distinctions of modern sociological systems theories, though broadening my basis to include actions and communications theory through the phenomenological and hermeneutical theses which are centered on a rational world structure. First, treating the general theoretical framework, I examine the internal aspects of law. Second, I apply the results of literature on legal dogmatics and legal hermeneutics which emphasize the specific features of the domain of law. Finally, I intend to correct and develop the analytical study in which I discussed law as a subsystem of our complex society and concentrated on the binary nature of the modern legal system.
