Kommentare/ Inhalte:
Friedrich August von Hayek (1899–1992) was an Austro-British Nobel Memorial Prize Laureate, an old liberal in the classic tradition, and an influential thinker in politics, economics and philosophy. His 1960 work The Constitution of Liberty is often regarded as his magnum opus. It is aimed at being a critical assessment, or restatement, in what regard freedom is an indispensable and underlying principle of civilisation, or more precisely, in politics, economics, and philosophy. In this line of thought a wide range of issues is dealt with, ranging from the creative powers of free civilisation to social security, house planning, and education. In this seminar we will focus on the first part of Hayek’s book entitled “The value of freedom”. We shall proceed along its sections:
Liberty and liberties
The creative powers of a free civilisation
The common sense of progress
Freedom, reason, and tradition
Responsibility and freedom
Equality, value and merit
Majority rule
Employment and independence.
Reading assignments will focus predominantly on said book chapter (please use the 2011 University of Chicago Press edition, see below) and will be detailed in the first session. The course will be held in English. Participants of the interdisciplinary Master of Science programme Politics, Economics, and Philosophy are particularly welcome.
