Abstract
Aim. To analyze the formation of socio-political views of Friedrich Hayek in the first half of his life. Methodology. Research methods are a combination of a biographical approach and the method of intellectual biography.
Results. The article is a presentation of the formation of F. Hayek’s socio-political ideas. The analysis of foreign historiography and sources led to the conclusion that the early general acquaintance of F. Hayek with the evolutionist thought paradigm contributed to the modification of Austrian thought about the development of socio-political institutions of two representatives of the Austrian school and the challenges from the political discourses of the interwar period (1918-1939). These factors pushed him to create his own political philosophy.
Research implications. Review of the biography and experiences of intellectual work makes it possible for us to reveal the problems and events that contributed to the establishment of F. Hayek as a political philosopher in the interwar period (1918-1939).
