Limits of interpretation, closure of communication
Umberto Eco and Niklas Luhmann observing texts
Elena Esposito
pp. 171-184
The encounter between Umberto Eco and Niklas Luhmann has a biographical side (mine and of the authors considered) and a theoretical side. The first one (although complex for the people involved) is easier to describe, therefore I will start from it: from the situation around the eighties in which exchanges between disciplines and between theoretical assumptions were more open and more frequent than in later decades (probably also because there were much stronger and better acknowledged theories).
