DO MEU MOLESKINE
Hayek. “ONE VIEW, in general rates rather low the place which reason plays in human affairs, which contends tha man has achieved what he has in spite of the fact that he is only partly guided by reason, and that his individual reason is very limited and imperfect.
ANOTHER VIEW, it is assumed that Reason is always fully and equally available to all humans and that everything which man achives is the direct result of, and therefore subject to, the control of individual reason.
The FIRST VIEW is a product of the limitations of the individual mind which induces an attitude of humility toward the impersonal and anonymous social processes by which individuals help to create things greater than they know.
The SECOND VIEW is the product of an exaggerated belief in the powers of individual reason and of a consequent contempt for anything which has not been consciously designed by it or is not fully intelligible to it.
The antirationalistic approach, which regards man not as a highly rational and intelligent but as a very irrational and fallible being, whose individual errors are corrected in the course of a social process, and which aims at amking the best of a very imperfect material, is probably the most characteristic feature of English INDIVIDUALISM.”
