Law, Legislation, and Liberty, Volume 19 Kindle Edition

by F.A. Hayek (Author), Jeremy Shearmur (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 15 ratings
A new edition of F. A. Hayek’s three-part opus Law, Legislation, and Liberty, collated in a single volume
In this critical entry in the University of Chicago’s Collected Works of F. A. Hayek series, political philosopher Jeremy Shearmur collates Hayek’s three-part study of law and liberty and places Hayek’s writings in careful historical context. Incisive and unrestrained, Law, Legislation, and Liberty is Hayek at his late-life best, making it essential reading for understanding the philosopher’s politics and worldview. 

These three volumes constitute a scaling up of the framework offered in Hayek’s famed The Road to Serfdom. Volume 1, Rules and Order, espouses the virtues of classical liberalism; Volume 2, The Mirage of Social Justice, examines the societal forces that undermine liberalism and, with it, liberalism’s capacity to induce “spontaneous order”; and Volume 3, The Political Order of a Free People, proposes alternatives and interventions against emerging anti-liberal movements, including a rule of law that resides in stasis with personal freedom. 

Shearmur’s treatment of this challenging work—including an immersive new introduction, a conversion of Hayek’s copious endnotes to footnotes, corrections to Hayek’s references and quotations, and the provision of translations to material that Hayek cited only in languages other than English—lends it new importance and accessibility. Rendered anew for the next generations of scholars, this revision of Hayek’s Law, Legislation, and Liberty is sure to become the standard.

  • Andrew Madison
    4.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking but a bit repetitive
    Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Hayek primarily applies his theories about information signaling and Popper's theories on the Sciences to constitutional law. Very good book on a number of levels given the continued relevance of his concerns.

    The frailty of democracy, automation, AI, rapid changes in cultural norms are all touched on. The hubris of soft sciences is front and center. If he were still alive I'd love to hear his thoughts on current data mining practices and the effect on humanities future.

    However, the book is a commitment to read and a bit repetitive. I think he hand waves through the model constitution proposal and why it solves the problems he points out.

    That being said it is very thought provoking. Many of his fears that provoked him to write this piece seem to be well founded.
