Roots

The rules of perception issue belongs to the Hume’s legacy to Hayek – also to Burke’s and Kant’s. In this sense, the Hayekian social theory is closely related to an aesthetical subject.
Nevertheless, the roots of the Hayekian thought are not to be traced back to the major modern philosophy. Despite the different countries he lived in, the waving course of his years, his frantic movements from one field of study to another, Hayek remained loyal to his master’s teaching, the haunting ideas which introduced him to the matters of biology, psychology, and disperse knowledge, those of Ernst Mach.
