About the Book

Not available since the 1980s, this up-dated edition by the leading political philosopher, John Gray, outlines his new position on Hayek.

New Content

In a substantial new chapter, Gray assesses how far the historical development of the last ten years can be deployed in a critique of Hayek's thought.

Significance

His reassessment is not only a provoking study of a classical philosopher. It is also a timely contribution to the debate over the future of conservatism, as Gray argues that Hayekian liberalism - the most well-articulated political theory of the new right - is flawed.
