Although there was a time when men believed that even language and morals had been ‘invented’ by some genius of the past, everybody recognizes now that they are the outcome of a process of evolution whose results nobody foresaw or designed.
But in other fields many people still treat with suspicion the claim that the patterns of interaction of many men can show an order that is of nobody’s deliberate making; in the economic sphere, in particular, critics still pour uncomprehending ridicule on Adam Smith’s expression of the ‘invisible hand’ by which, in the language of his time, he described how man is led ‘to promote an end which was no part of his intentions’.
If indignant reformers still complain of the chaos of economic affairs, insinuating a complete absence of order, this is partly b... (查看原文)
It is because it was not dependent on organization but grew up as a spontaneous order that the structure of modern society has attained that degree of complexity which it possesses and which far exceeds any that could have been achieved by deliberate organization.
To maintain that we must deliberately plan modern society because it has become so complex is therefore paradoxical, and the result of a complete misunderstanding of these circumstances. The fact is, rather, that we can preserve an order of such complexity not by the method of directing the members, but only indirectly by enforcing and improving the rules conducive to the formation of a spontaneous order.

Spontaneous order，社会和法律不是先有社会然后靠理性建构出来的东西。

关于“内部规则”与“外部规则”的界分很有启发性，读起来还相对轻松。

哈耶克这个阶段的法律观很有意思。他当然承认法律与命令同源，但法律不同于命令正在于其无固定对象，是针对抽象人的普遍要求。正是这普遍的法律精神才将法律制度与其他行政制度区分开来，并对这些特殊的命令起限制作用。哈耶克另一个洞见，在于区分两种法律传统，自由的法律（经验主义习俗主义的英美普通法）和立法的法律（唯理论意志论传统的欧陆法）。这两种法律理念既体现了不同的法哲学传统（意见vs意志），又体现了对不同法... 哈耶克这个阶段的法律观很有意思。他当然承认法律与命令同源，但法律不同于命令正在于其无固定对象，是针对抽象人的普遍要求。正是这普遍的法律精神才将法律制度与其他行政制度区分开来，并对这些特殊的命令起限制作用。哈耶克另一个洞见，在于区分两种法律传统，自由的法律（经验主义习俗主义的英美普通法）和立法的法律（唯理论意志论传统的欧陆法）。这两种法律理念既体现了不同的法哲学传统（意见vs意志），又体现了对不同法律元素的重视（司法vs立法）。哈耶克认为，立法至上的法律理念建立在一个错误的理念上，即人们能脱离默会的规则“发明”出新的法律，而且，好像只有通过意志有意识的立法，才能确立一部法律。哈耶克的看法全然相反，站在普通法的角度，法律就是习俗、舆论因而是内化于心的，不成文的法律先于立法。 (展开)
