Dinh Chapter 6

Q: What are the two forms of the argument Hayek refers to in chapter 6?

A: The first way the reader can view the argument is through economics, where Hayek states that "the state should confine itself to establishing rules applying to general types of situation and should allow the individuals freedom in everything which depends on the circumstances of time and place, because only the individuals concerned in each instance can fully known these circumstances and adapt their actions to them" (83, 84). The second form is moral or political. "If the state is precisely to foresee the incidence of its actions, it means that it can leace those affected no choice" (84).
