Friedric A. Von Hayek?s political philosophy

Liberalism is an ideology which has economical and philosophical well-grounded basis and it maintains it?s efficiency in the 21st century. Friedrich von Hayek has a very important position among modern representatives of liberalism.Hayek, whom we have analyzed his ideas, adopted the liberalism theory which was especially adopted by the Scottish Enlighthenment in the 18th century and he aimed to carry on the basic liberal elements of this theory to the century which he lived. Hayek emphasizes that National Socialism, which was especially the preeminent power during 2nd World War, in fact nourishes from socialism and it is unavoidable that both of these theories reaches to totalitarism. The theory which Hayek actually objects and fights against is totatlitarism.Hayek?s liberalism theory?s fundamental characteristics could be counted as: individualism, liberty, spontaneous order, market economy, justice, limited government and rule of law. All of these fundamental characteristics are critically important and they all are interconnected.Hayek adopts two kinds of social order: the spontaneous social order and the social order which grounds on organizational structure. The order which Hayek defends persistently, is the spontaneous order, is not an invention of any plan or agreement made consciously. Spontaneous order consisted during an evolutionary process and arises from human relations.Hayek, emphasizes that the liberal principles that he defends shall not be confused with conservatism, democracy is not enough to fight against totatlitarism and it shall be supported by liberalism,Key Words1.Liberalism2.Individualism3.Liberty4.Spontaneous order5.Democracy
