ANNOUNCING -- Hayek-L on [log in to unmask]
[log in to unmask] is an international network for the
discussion of the ideas of Friedrich A. Hayek. Hayek-L is
intended as a resource for scholars and others doing research
connected to the contributions of Friedrich Hayek. Hayek is
the originator of the intertemporal equilibrium construction, and his work
is the spur from much of the literature on dispersed and imperfect
knowledge. Hayek was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics in 1974
for his work on the interconnection of economic phenomena. Hayek
is also the co-originator of the Hebb-Hayek synaptic learning
model, and author of the well known _The Sensory Order_. Hayek's
work in neuroscience has gained prominence in recent years due
to Gerald Edelman's _Neural Darwinism_, and Joaquin Fuster's
_Memory in the Cerebral Cortex: An Empirical Approach to Neural
Networks in the Human and Nonhuman Primates_. In addition,
Hayek is the author of pathbreaking discussions on the nature of complex
phenomena, spontaneous order, and on the character of generic
explanations dealing with this sort of phenomena, work that has informed
the thinking of Gerald Edelman, Walter Weimer, Karl Popper,
Robert Nozick, Don Lavoie, Axel Leijonhufvud, Joaquine Fuster
and other leading figures in economics, philosophy, and the cognitive
sciences.
The basic purpose of the Hayek-L list is to serve as a forum for scholarly
discussions and as a clearing house the distribution of
information on academic conferences, publication opportunities,
fellowship information, academic grants, and job openings of
interest to Hayek scholars. Subscribers are encouraged to post
questions, comments, or announcements of interest to individuals
working on topics related to Hayek's writings. Appropriate
postings might pertain to work currently in progress, the
development of course materials, bibliographical material of
interest to Hayek scholars, useful internet resources, etc.
The list is for scholars and others interested the ideas of
Friedrich A. Hayek without restriction according to interest or
professional affiliation. Hayek-L is not devoted to any particular
niche within the scope of Hayek's oeurvre, but instead welcomes
contributions on any aspect of the full range of Hayek's
contribution to contemporary scholarship. Discussions of the
scholarly contributions of other important thinkers who have
developed or criticized aspects of Hayek's work are also welcomed.
E.g. discussions of the work of Gerald Edelman, Karl Popper,
Frank Knight, Ronald Dworkin, Stanford Grossman, Walter Weimer,
Robert Nozick, John Maynard Keynes, Leonid Horwicz and
others related to the work of Friedrich Hayek are also welcome.
