Abstract
In The Sensory Order (1952), Hayek provided a theory of the process by which the mind perceives the world around it. The sensory order is a classification that takes place via a network of impulse connections. The essence of Hayek’s attempt in theoretical psychology is to show how a structure can be formed which discriminates between different physical stimuli and generates the sensory order that we actually experience. The sensory order is even an incomplete and imperfect representation of the physical world. The subjectivity of individual knowledge finds its foundation in the construction of the mind. The brain is an adaptive system interacting with and adapting to its environment by performing a multi-level classification on the stimuli it receives from the environment.
