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 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. |Law Legislation and Liberty A New Statement of the Liberal Principles of Justice and Political Economy | Economics
