Abstract

L'article est un essai qui propose de faire trois additions à la théorie évolutionniste hayékienne.La première pour éclairer l'émergence des règles, sociales, zone d'ombre chez Hayek, en introduisant le concept " d'espaces relationnels ", embryons des espaces institutionnels.La seconde pour faire apparaître le rôle de l'action humaine dans l'évolution des règles sociales : des individus ou groupes d'individus jouent un rôle " entrepreneurial " et cherchent à changer des institutions qui ne conviennent pas à leurs exigences éthiques.La dernière pour réintroduire une référence à l'ordre naturel qu'Hayek avait voulu éliminer, mais qui valide le processus hayékien à condition de retenir une approche subjective du droit naturel (comme l'approche thomiste) par opposition aux approches objectives courantes (s'inspirant d'Aristote et de Puffendorf).This paper tries to add three elements to Hayek's theory of evolution.The first element sheds light on a moot point in Hayek's thought, the emergence of social rules. It does so by introducing the concept of "relational spheres", deemed as incipient institutional spheres.The second element tries to make the role of human action conspicuous in the evolution of social rules: individuals or groups of individuals play an "entrepreneurial" role and seek to alter institutions which are no longer in harmony with their ethical moorings.The last element introduces a reference to natural order which Hayek discarded in his thought. This reference validates the Hayekian process as long as a subjective approach to natural law (as in the Thomistic approach) is retained in contrast to contemporary objective approaches (taking their heed from Aristotle and Puffendorf.)
