Abstract

Hayek heavily strikes his rationalist opponents with his polemic theory-building style and negative evolutionary cognitive method.However,whether or not it is the universal experience to construct theory through critique approach is questionable.The author mainly discusses the following two topics:firstly,whether or not Hayek's negative cognitive method is enough to avoid the disadvantages for which he has blamed his opponents;secondly,as far as Hayek's symbolic social theory-especially the theory on the constitution of liberty-is concerned,regarding the two kinds of orders expounded in this book,what determines the evolution of the cosmos,and what role the cosmos plays in the modernization of Chinese society which is characterized with the transplant of institutions.
