Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to the socio-philosophical legacy of Friedrich von Hayek, one of the founders of neoliberalism and a representative of the Austrian School of Economics. In this regard, this text is an attempt to rethink Hayek’s work in three main aspects: as an initiator of the return of liberalism to its ideological foundations from the Enlightenment, as an ideologue of neoliberalism, and as a consistent critic of Keynesian capitalism and socialism. There are some weaknesses in his teaching, both in terms of capitalism and in terms of social liberalism and socialism.
