Hayek’s Cognitive Psychology

Susumu Egashira

Chapter 14 in Austrian Economics in Transition, 2010, pp 276-289 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Sensory Order published in 1952 is unique among Hayek’ s works. Although many economists and political scientists acknowledge its significance, they have seldom studied it because it requires the reader to have some knowledge of cognitive psychology.1 Despite this, many researchers have regarded it as the beginning of Hayek s knowledge theory and have suggested the necessity of a detailed investigation. Kurt Leube, the author of Chapter 13 of this volume worked as Hayek’s assistant for many years and pointed out the significance of The Sensory Order. This chapter is supplementary to Leube s chapter.
