- W42458871 abstract "Evolutionary theories accounting for legal emergence offer important insights to add to orthodox jurisprudential debate. It is proposed that the nature of law can be more satisfactorily or comprehensively appreciated by incorporating an evolutionary perspective. This thesis uses the generic variation-selection-retention paradigm of Donald T Campbell as the conceptual framework for considering how the biological and cultural evolutionary processes add these valuable insights into the nature of the law. FA Hayek approved and adopted Campbell’s model to produce the thesis on legal evolution that is the subject of his works The Constitution of Liberty and Law Legislation and Liberty. Hayek’s thesis is considered to be the most sophisticated and comprehensive analysis of the application of evolutionary theory to legal development. By investigating recent advances in the scientific disciplines of complex systems theory, evolutionary psychology and theories of cultural evolution in the context of a Hayekian-Campbellian framework this thesis aims to augment, consolidate and complement these early important works. This thesis updates Hayek’s examination of society as a production of self-organised and spontaneously ordering behaviour by examining the growing literature applying the non-linear sciences of complexity theory and chaos theory to legal philosophy. Rules are a product of innate rule-following behaviour or attempts by people to coerce others into rule-abiding conduct. Many of these behaviours are explicable on a biologically-derived evolutionary basis or as an interplay of genetic predispositions with the cultural evolutionary process. Evolutionary psychology as a scientific rationale for human behaviours contributes significantly to an understanding of legally relevant behaviour in terms of genetic traits that have evolved to solve the adaptive challenges of the social environment. Rules and laws are items of cultural inheritance the survival of which may be understood in terms of cultural evolution or memetic theory. Explaining both biological traits and cultural products as the product of selectors at various levels of a nested hierarchy of vicarious selectors can reveal insights into the process of legal emergence. These insights may also inform questions of the usefulness and feasibility of different laws and legal approaches as well as providing a factual basis for a discussion of normative considerations." @default.
