Features: The author has been dedicated to researching the thoughts of Nobel Prize-winning 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 justification of social order, focusing on Hayek's liberal theory—also known as classical liberalism, which is a typical representative of Scottish moral philosophy in the contemporary era. Structurally, it is divided into three parts: Part I 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; Part II includes three review articles written by the author to clarify certain issues related to the study of Hayek's thought; Part III features an introduction titled "Hayek and His Century," translated by Stephen Kresge for the book Hayek on Hayek, which helps readers better understand Hayek's liberalism.
