F.A. Hayek’s The Sensory Order: An evolutionary perspective

Jack Birner

No 2_2013, STOREPapers from Associazione Italiana per la Storia dell'Economia Politica - StorEP

Abstract: The question I will address in this paper is whether or not F.A. Hayek’s The Sensory Order contains a theory of evolutionary psychology. That question has been answered affirmatively, including by myself. On further reflection, however, the matter is not so straightforward. The qualifications that will be suggested here concern two aspects of the question. The answer to the evolutionary part will be: “no, but”. A further and farther-reaching qualification regards the question whether The Sensory Order is a theory of psychology at all.
