title = {Die Politik in der politischen Gesellschaft. Eine ideengeschichtliche Spurensuche. In memoriam Michael Th. Greven (07.03.1947-07.07.2012)},
year = {2014},
note = {The “political society” (Greven) presupposes politics as the main
authority capable of shaping society and giving it political order.
Politics alone are able to bind together (post)modern societies and in
principle intervene in all societal spheres and can virtually
politicize everything. In spite of its central position, the term
“politics” seems to be peculiarly empty. This contribution tries
to investigate the traces of the term politics. It starts with that
point in time when the term was rewritten and newly conceptualized at
the turning point to modernity and reconstructs the new idea of
politics using the work of four authors, namely Albert E. F.
Schäffle, Karl Mannheim, Max Weber, and Niklas Luhmann. All refer to
each other explicitly or implicitly and begin to constitute a web of a
political discourse in which a new idea of politics originates. It
displays a new outline of politics as political action that is
appropriate to the high significance of politics in the “political
society”.},
