THE LIBERAL THEORY OF SPONTANEOUS ORDER – THE CONTRIBUTION OF FRIEDRICH AUGUST VON HAYEK (Liberalna teoria ladu spontanicznego – wklad Friedricha Augusta von Hayeka.)

The article presents theory of spontaneous order well-developed and promoted by Friedrich August von Hayek. According to him, the majority of human social institutions, such as 'inter alia' law, language and money was not created as a result of deliberate plan, but evolved spontaneously. For Hayek all conscious and planned attempts to reduce spontaneous social phenomena show the pride of human mind and therefore lead only to disrupt the proper functioning of the community. In fact, the more complex social order, the lower the possibility of conscious control and purposeful organization. Conscious control of social processes leads inevitably to the collapse of law understood as 'the rule of law' and leads us straight to the law understood as an instrument of control over society
