Features: The author has been dedicated to researching the thoughts of Nobel laureate economist Friedrich Hayek, which has had a significant impact on academic circles both domestically and internationally. This book is a culmination of his years of research on Hayek's ideas. This collection of specialized research papers includes eleven articles written by the author to study the formation and legitimacy of social order, focusing on Hayek's liberal theory—also known as classical liberalism, which is a typical representative of contemporary liberalism based on Scottish moral philosophy. Structurally, it is divided into three parts: The first part consists of eight specialized essays by the author on Hayek's liberalism, thoroughly exploring Hayek's views from the perspectives of his epistemology, social theory, legal theory, and theory of justice; the second part includes three review articles written by the author to elucidate certain issues related to the study of Hayek's thought; the third part is a translation of an introduction titled "Hayek and His Century" written by Stephen Kresge for the book "Hayek on Hayek," which helps readers better understand Hayek's liberalism.
