Notice: A New E-List on the Writings of Friedrich A. Hayek 

ANNOUNCING -- Hayek-L on listserv@maelstrom.stjohns.edu

   HAYEK-L@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU 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 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.  Hayek is also the originator of the intertemporal 
   equilibrium construction, and his work is the spur for 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. Robert Skidelsky, the 
   respected biographer of John Maynard Keynes, describes  
   Hayek as "the dominant intellectual influence of the last quarter 
   of the twentieth century".  

   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, Joachuine Fuster, Walter Weimer, 
   Robert Nozick, John Maynard Keynes, Leonid Horwicz and
   others related to the work of Friedrich Hayek are also welcome.
