This second volume, Basics of a Liberal Psychological, Social
and Moral Order, overviews developments in the theory of
spontaneously ordered complex phenomena, the psychology of
inference and expectation, the nature of anticipatory systems in
the psychological and economic domains, and the evolution of
scientific thought and knowledge. The book applies these insights
to the nature of markets and morals, what education should consist
of, and the problems of alienation and our existential malaise as
we move into an increasingly abstract society. In doing so it also
shows the unscientific nature of the rationalist constructivist
approach of progressivism, and the disastrous consequences that
would arise from following these positions. The book shows the
complex interplay between top-down or directed structures (what
Hayek and others have called taxis organizations) and far more
complex orders of the social or psychological cosmos in which they
are embedded as constituents. It details how the key to the market
orders of society depends upon their capacity to impersonally
convey information to agents. Markets can serve unknown and
unforeseen ends for individuals who do not know or have contact
with other market participants. This is a vastly more powerful and
productive system than anything that can arise in a tribal or
face-to-face organization limited to personal contact, such as the
sort proposed by the constructivists. The book will be of
interest to academics and scholars in classical liberalism,
economics and political philosophy.
