RESUMO

The dissertation aims to contribute to the study of the economic and social thought of Friedrich August von Hayek, focusing on institutional aspects. It starts with a taxonomy of varieties of uncertainty proposed by David Dequech, trying to identify those with which Hayek dealt and why he stated that reality is complex. Based on this, the dissertation examines what Hayek understood by terms such as institutions, rules, culture and the like, and how he thought that institutions act upon individual economic behavior. Finally, it studies the meaning of Hayek?s "critical rationalism" and his evolutionary theory of institutional change, foundations of Hayek s liberal political philosophy, in opposition to what he called "constructivist rationalism" and "Social Darwinism?"
