Book Overview
Friedrich A. Hayek, distinguished scholar and Nobel laureate, has long been recognized as the moral and intellectual spokesman for classic liberalism and a free society. In January, 1976, a conference on the University of San Francisco campus convened to explore the implications of Hayek's legal and political philosophy. From that conference Robert L. Cunningham has selected the best papers for presentation in this book. Three of the participants, Joseph Raz, William Letwin, and Gottfried Dietze, discuss the values represented by the rule of law. Raz analyzes the ideal of the rule of law as elaborated by Hayek and others and shows why certain conclusions drawn from it cannot be supported. Letwin examines in detail the relationship of the rule of law to a particular set of decisions of the U.S. courts. Dietze discusses the legitimate role legislation plays in the liberal state.
