The reception of Luhmann in Latin America has deepened much in the 21st century, its epistemological conception is best known not only sociological areas increasingly. The work of Luhmann is an attempt to transformation and reconfiguration of outdated notions that were sacred and ideas, paradigms or traditional approaches: the ontology, teleology, anthropocentrism, even ethics. To do so go to systems thinking, but realizes that, with the instrumental inherited theorist of the General Theory of Systems, it is not possible to set up a relevant theory to understand the contemporary world. Therefore, undertakes a process of transformation of the traditional theory of systems and set up a new theory of systems: the theory of self-referential systems and autopoietic. Precisely, this paper examines the classification of systems according to Luhmann, the new typology of systems proposed by him, the self-creation and self-referential Systems, as well as the relationship between life, intention, and communication, as operations that they reproduce the biological, psychological and social systems.
