Features: This book is an academic monograph on the prominent figure of modern liberalism—F. A. Hayek. It systematically and comprehensively elucidates Hayek's theories of law and constitutionalism. It not only reveals the legal basis of Hayek's classical liberal political values but also convincingly demonstrates the originality of Hayek's theory in addressing the value crisis of liberalism by analyzing the tension field of different theoretical paths taken by Strauss, Schmitt, Berlin, and Rawls. Hayek elevates political issues to legal ones, dedicating himself to institutional innovation of a new constitutional model. This book deeply analyzes the specific structure of Hayek's constitutional model and showcases the value of justice in Hayek's theory of legal order, making it a legal study in the sense of political philosophy. Hayek's intellectual formation is closely related to the German academic circle, and this book excels in German-style logical analysis, with a broad perspective, rigorous structure, and dense text, demonstrating a high academic standard.
