Law Legislation and Liberty

<p><strong>A new edition of F. A. Hayek’s three-part opus <i>Law Legislation and Liberty</i> collated in a single volume</strong></p><p>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 <i>Law Legislation and Liberty </i>is Hayek at his late-life best making it essential reading for understanding the philosopher’s politics and worldview. <br><br>These three volumes constitute a scaling up of the framework offered in Hayek’s famed <i>The Road to Serfdom</i>. Volume 1 <i>Rules and Order</i> espouses the virtues of classical liberalism; Volume 2 <i>The Mirage of Social Justice</i> examines the societal forces that undermine liberalism and with it liberalism’s capacity to induce spontaneous order; and Volume 3 <i>The Political Order of a Free People</i> proposes alternatives and interventions against emerging anti-liberal movements including a rule of law that resides in stasis with personal freedom. <br><br>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 <i>Law Legislation and Liberty </i>is sure to become the standard.</p>
