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 second part of Hayek’s book entitled “Freedom and the Law”. We shall proceed along its sections:
Coercion and the State
Law, Commands, and Order
The Origins of the Rule of Law
The American Contribution: Constitutionalism
Liberalism and Administration: The Rechtsstaat
The Safeguards of Individual Liberty
Economic Policy and the Rule of Law
The Decline of the Law
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.
