Quantum physics and sociological systems theory in dialogue

Quantum theory is one of the most challenging and successful theoretical projects in the history of mankind. It is one, if not the universal theory of physics. However, the history of its interpretation and the controversy surrounding its interpretation affect far more than just the field of theoretical physics. Such a theory destroys ontological certainties. It calls the observer into question and gives us an idea of what to expect when we deal with complex phenomena in other fields that are infected with the observer problem. For this reason, it seems particularly interesting for (sociological) systems theorists to enter into dialogue with quantum theory.
