Abstract
This chapter articulates the ideological content and the rhetorical nature (including the baroque aspects) of selected works by the French psychoanalytic thinker Jacques Lacan (1901-81) and the German systems theorist Niklas Luhmann (1927-98) and, where applicable, the mediatory roles of the Prague philosopher Ladislav Rieger (1890-1958), of Edmund Husserl (1859-1938), who lectured to the members of the Prague Philosophical Circle in 1935, and of the founding member of the Circle and the first Professor of English Language and Literature at Charles University, Vilém Mathesius (1882-1945).
