Ordnungsdenken - eine geistesgeschichtliche Skizze

Abstract

This sketch of historical ideas shows the inevitability of the philosophy of order: all advanced civilisations have something important to contribute to this. Human behaviour is bound everywhere to rules which enable a certain co-ordination. The “wise men” of all periods have reflected on these rules. For close differentiation of the various rule systems, Hayek’s notions of “Cosmos” and “Taxis” (spontaneously and centrally constructed order) can provide a useful pioneering service. The discovery of the “spontaneous” order, especially the market order, is a particular achievement of the Occident. After antique beginnings and medieval relapses, the theory of spontaneous order fully developed for the first time in the Scottish School to reach a climax then in the Austrian School. Alongside this, there was always the line of “Taxis” thinking which did not experience its first catastrophe in the 20th century when it exceeded the limits of usefulness.
