© Universität Bielefeld / Bielefeld University 2015 In Niklas Luhmann's filing cabinet, one thought stands next to the other, the notes are packed tightly in the drawers. The sociologist has written around 90,000 notes in almost five decades - in addition to his extensive published work. Johannes Schmidt's team is examining and editing the sociologist Luhmann's estate in the archives of Bielefeld University. In the current episode of "research_tv" from Bielefeld University, Professor Dr. André Kieserling, Johannes Schmidt and Martin Löning explain how they approach Luhmann's so-called "intellectual autobiography".
