Hajek, filozof prava. Konstitucionalizam u ruhu evolucionizma
Hayek, Philosopher of Law. Constitutionalism in the Guise of Evolutionism

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we analyze the relationship between Hayek’s theory of the state and law and the constitutionalist tradition of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with a focus on Hayek’s evolutionists interpretation of the origin of social institutions. I will suggest the specificity of the evolutionist approach in the context of the concept of separation of powers, and especially the functional role of the legal system, and specific emphasis on the role of the judges in the development of law. A key aspect that characterizes Hayek’s approach to the theory of law is a strong emphasis on the verge of rationality and, consequently, increased the importance of customary and traditional norms in preserving the rationality of the legal system.
