F. A. Hayek, Institutions, RulesAbstract
The paper aims to contribute to the study of Hayek’s institutional approach. For that, it is proposed a classification of some of the Hayekian institutional concepts. Additionally, it is argued that Hayek’s focus on institutional issues can be understood as a consequence of his intention to investigate the problem of knowledge and coordination in society, as well as an element to enrich his critique of constructivist rationalism. Then it is made an analysis of some Hayekian institutional concepts, briefly explaining what was his understanding about order, law, legislation and rules, and proposing a classification of the latter concept in rules of conduct, tacit rules, and mental rules.
