Features: "The Constitution of Liberty" is one of the most important works of liberal theory written by Nobel laureate F.A. Hayek. Hayek's works elaborate a philosophical system of grand ambition, comparable in scope to the thought systems of Mill and Marx, but far less open to criticism, as his system is based on a philosophically sound view of the scope and limits of reason. For this reason alone, Hayek's works are worthy of the critical attention of philosophers, sociologists, and political economists. Classic works become timeless masterpieces due to their enduring charm; commentaries on these classics by renowned scholars also become timeless masterpieces, equally illuminated by the brilliance of the classics and the unique intellectual allure of the scholars.
