"Une époque de superstition est celle où les gens imaginent qu'ils en savent plus qu'ils n'en savent en réalité. En ce sens, le XXe siècle aura été certainement exceptionnellement riche en superstitions, et la cause en est une surestimation de ce que la science a accompli? non pas dans le champ des phénomènes relativement simples où elle a certes été extraordinairement efficace, mais dans le domaine des phénomènes complexes ; car dans ces derniers, l'application des techniques qui ont si bien réussi essentiellement dans les phénomènes simples s'est révélée très déroutante." Lorsqu'on ignore sa propre ignorance, cela fait des dégâts. Chacun pense savoir plus et mieux que les autres ; mieux les connaître qu'eux-mêmes ; pouvoir les conduire à leur place vers leurs véritables intérêts. L'intolérance est le produit de cette prétention aux certitudes, qui n'est rien d'autre qu'une croyance et la pire de toutes. Expression même de l'obscurantisme, elle est le socle commun de tous les totalitarismes, avec toutes les horreurs qui les accompagnent."--Page 4 of cover.

F. A. Hayek (1899-1992) was among the most important economists and political philosophers of the twentieth century. He is widely regarded as the principal intellectual force behind the triumph of global capitalism, an 'anti-Marx' who did more than any other recent thinker to elucidate the theoretical foundations of the free market economy. His account of the role played by market prices in transmitting economic knowledge constituted a devastating critique of the socialist ideal of central economic planning, and his famous book The Road to Serfdom was a prophetic statement of the dangers which socialism posed to a free and open society. He also made significant contributions to fields as diverse as the philosophy of law, the theory of complex systems, and cognitive science. The essays in this volume, by an international team of contributors, provide a critical introduction to all aspects of Hayek's thought.

Few 20th-century figures have been lionized and vilified in such equal measure as Friedrich Hayek - economist, social theorist, leader of the Austrian school of economics, and champion of classical liberalism. Hayek's erudite arguments in support of individualism and the market economy have attracted a devout following, including many at the levers of power in business and government. Critics, meanwhile, cast Hayek as the intellectual forefather of 'neoliberalism' and of all the evils they associate with that pernicious doctrine. In this book, historians of economics Bruce Caldwell and Hansjorg Klausinger draw on never-before-seen archival and family material to produce an authoritative account of the influential economist's first five decades.

"The Social Science of Hayek's The Sensory Order" systematically examines the relevance and significance of Hayek's cognitive psychology for economics and social science, and is the only publication of its kind to do so. Sixteen original papers are divided into four parts in this volume: Hayek's Cognitive Psychology, Evolution, and Social Theory; Hayek's Cognitive Psychology and Economics; Hayek's Cognitive Psychology, Institutions, and Broader Social theory; and The Place of The Sensory Order in Hayek's Oeuvre: A Mini-Symposium. Papers examine Hayek's cognitive psychology from the perspective of evolutionary theory, economics, market and social institutions, and broader social theory. Part of "The Advances in Austrian Economics Series", this book will appeal to people working in a variety of traditions in economics and related disciplines. Although Austrian school economists are the primary audience, those working in public choice, new institutionalism, complexity theory, cognitive or behavior economics, entrepreneurship, and other areas will find great value in the series. This volume is edited by William Butos, Professor of Economics, Trinity College, Hartford and Visiting Research Fellow, New York University, Austrian Economics Program.

"Friedrich Hayek was the 20th century's most significant free market theorist and over the course of his long career he maintained a sustained critique of the danger that state power poses to individual liberty. In rejecting much of the liberal tradition's concern for social justice and democratic participation, Hayek would help clear away many of the moral and intellectual obstacles to the emergence of neoliberalism in the last quarter of the 20th century. At the core of this book is a new interpretation of Hayek, painting him as an exponent of a neo-Roman conception of liberty and his work as a form of 'market republicanism'. It examines the contemporary context in which Hayek wrote, and places his work in a longer Western intellectual tradition. Hayek's Market Republicanism will be of interest to advanced students and researchers across the history of economic thought, the history of political thought, political economy and political philosophy"--
