Sample text

When this is done, the scientist is claiming that the object is known. The process of science, then, is a process designed to come to know the object—irrespective of whether the term ‘thing-in-itself’ is used. According to Hayek, natural science allows one to ‘get down to objective facts’ (1942a, 271). The claim that there is a level of ‘objective facts’ that one can ‘get down to’ strongly suggests that he accepts the existence of a knowable reality beyond sense experience. 21 HAYEK’S POLITICAL ECONOMY Consider the second pathway.

The term ‘translate’ appears to mean translation of statements obtained in the theoretical world into statements about the external world given in sense experience. e. they would be purely formal. In order for this translation to occur, statements must be of a specific form: they must take the form of rules. Only when statements take the specific form of rules can statements about the theoretical world be translated into statements about the external world given in sense experience. And rules appear to express the regular connections between events.

The object initially classified as chalk is re-classified as salt. At this point, the argument is complete; the theoretical world is related to the sensory world, the latter is related to the external world, and we come to know something more about the object than its mere appearance—even though we only have access to sense experience. By his elaboration of the natural scientific process of re-classification, Hayek establishes that there is a real object and one can come to know it, to classify it as such and such, via its effects.
