Liberty and the Rule of Law
Robert L Cunningham
Publisher Marketing: 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. The concept of privacy and its relationship to the law is discussed by "George Fletcher" and "Walter Berns," but from quite different viewpoints. The former deals with the role of privacy in a legal system, the latter with privacy as a right. "Stephen J. Tonsor" examines the conservative origins of collectivism. The philosophical foundations of Hayek's political and legal theory are analyzed by "Eugene F. Miller" and "Tibor R. Machan." And finally "Robert L. Cunningham" considers how mankind's limited knowledge can be put to best use in a rapidly changing world. The volume concludes with a brief discussion generated by the various papers.
