Niklas Luhmann's Zettelkasten Goes Online
The Zettelkasten of Niklas Luhmann, the German sociologist who fundamentally criticized the education system in the 1970s, is now being digitized and made available online. Luhmann's vast card index system, which he used to produce his life's work, is being published on the internet, allowing unprecedented access to his thinking machine. The project reveals how Luhmann's sociological approach, which rejected equal treatment in education as a fundamentally wrong approach, was built through a meticulous process of note-taking and cross-referencing.
