论哈耶克自由主义的知识基础

On the Knowledge Base of Hayek's Liberalism

作为以"自由"一词来命名的自由主义理所当然把自由视为其核心价值,但人类为什么需要自由?自由为什么如此神圣?对此不同的思想家有不同的回答。有的认为它源于人性的自私,有的认为它是与生俱来的、天赋的权利。哈耶克则认为自由建立在知识分散和理性不及基础之上,因为理性不是万能的,在现实社会中没有全知全能者来为他人安排命运和生活,因此必须赋予每个人以自由。

With the word 'liberty' to name itself,liberalism naturally has liberty as its core value.But why do human beings need liberty? Why is liberty so sacred? To these questions,different ideologists give different answers.Some hold that it originates from the selfishness of human nature;and some others hold it is the innate right of human beings.However,Hayek holds that liberty builds on the knowledge scatter and non-rational for rationality is not omnipotent and in real society there doesn't exist an omniscient and omnipotent person who can arrange the fate and life of others so that each one must be endowed with liberty.
