The Sensory Order: Inquiry into the Foundations of Theoretical Psychology: An Inquiry into the Foundations of Theoretical Psychology
€15.26
The Sensory Order, first published in 1952, sets forth F. A. Hayek’s classic theory of mind in which he describes the mental mechanism that classifies perceptions that cannot be accounted for by physical laws. Hayek’s substantial contribution to theoretical psychology has been addressed in the work of Thomas Szasz, Gerald Edelman, and Joaquin Fuster.
“A most encouraging example of a sustained attempt to bring together information, inference, and hypothesis in the several fields of biology, psychology, and philosophy.”-Quarterly Review of Biology
F. A. Hayek (1899-1992), recipient of the Medal of Freedom in 1991 and co-winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 1974, taught at the University of London, the University of Chicago, and the University of Freiburg.

The title is misleading without proper context. It’s a treatise of theoretical biology that explores the emergence of human neural networks.

Great book.

I 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.
