Hayek in Mind: Hayek's Philosophical Psychology
Leslie Marsh, Volume Editor
Advances in Austrian Economics
Hayek's philosophical psychology as set out in his **The Sensory Order** (1952) has, for the
most part, been a neglected work. Social theory, Hayek's traditional disciplinary constituency,
has recently begun to take note and examine its place in the complete Hayek corpus. Despite
being lauded by computer scientist grandee Frank Rosenblatt and more recently by
neuroscientists Gerald Edelman and Joaquin Fuster, cognitive science (with a few exceptions)
has yet to discover Hayek's philosophical psychology. This volume seeks to redress this
lacuna by soliciting critical assessments on some aspect(s) of Hayek's philosophical
psychology. Proposals that offer a suggestive deployment of Hayek's philosophical
psychology are also welcome. What makes this volume distinctive is that the editors are
seeking submissions that examine Hayek from the perspective of recent philosophy of mind.
Suggested topics include (but is not exhaustive):
Mind-body problem; connectionism; externalism; intentionality; knowing how-knowing that;
the frame problem; enactivism; Hayek's non-Cartesianism; cognitive closure; qualia; the
hard vs. the easy problems; Hayek's Kantianism; functionalism; individuation of mental
states; cognitive science as a multi-disciplinary enterprise.
Accepted articles will form chapters in the hardcover book series **Advances in Austrian
Economics**. All articles are subject to double blind review: further details about this series
