F. A. Hayek and the Epistemology of Politics by Scott Scheall
F. A. Hayek and the Epistemology of Politics is an exploration of a problem that has largely been ignored: the problem of policymaker ignorance, and the limits of political epistemology. Scott Scheall explores Hayek's attitude to the philosophy of science and political philosophy."Scheall provides an engaging analysis of the possibility of applying Hayek’s methodology to policymaking in liberal democracies, rich in suggestions for both economists and political scientistsThe discussion of the core idea of his book is enriched by many enlightening insights into the history of economics, such as the economic calculation debate, Hayek’s quarrels with Keynes, and the influence of philosophers and scientists like Adolph St€ohr and Hermann von Helmholtz on Hayek’s theory of knowledge and perception."
