About the author

Friedrich August Hayek (1899–1992), recipient of the Medal of Freedom in 1991 and co-winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 1974, was a pioneer in monetary theory and the principal proponent of libertarianism in the twentieth century. He taught at the University of London, the University of Chicago, and the University of Freiburg. His influence on the economic policies in capitalist countries has been profound, especially during the Reagan administration in the U.S. and the Thatcher government in the U.K.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2015Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThe title is misleading without proper context. It's a treatise of theoretical biology that explores the emergence of human neural networks.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2017Great book.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2018Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI am still working on this book. It is much different from his economic works. The reason why I purchased this was because a lot of Hayek's views on economic theory revolve around his understanding of how people act and why they respond as they do. I wanted to understand Hayek's perspective on why people react as they do. I think this book provides this - but it is very difficult to read (even for Hayek).
This book has much more to do with Physiology and Psychology than straight Psychology (it deals with theories on synapses, neurons, etc stuff like that). Hayek writes as if these topics are his profession - deep stuff and very specific. Hayek is a mind I wish to learn more from so I am not giving up - but this book is not light reading by any stretch.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2010The Sensory Order is an impressive book. While I cannot comment on how it stands up to other works in psychology, the fact that Hayek was able to write a book of such sophistication outside of his own field of expertise shows the breadth of his thinking. Hayek aims at explaining the process by which minds classify perceptions not accounted for by physical laws. This theory is developed in seven chapters. Chapter eight lays out the philosophic implications of Hayek's theory. As an economist, this last chapter is the most important. It would be interesting to find out if psychologists find the other seven compelling.
