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 third part of Hayek’s book entitled “Freedom in the Welfare State”. We shall proceed along its sections:
