In Hayek’s opinion, follow the rules is an important feature of the human.Follow rules, enable individuals to form groups, and form order in the group life, and thenbring prosperity and development to the group of follow rules. From small groups to largesocial is a general process of human society evolution. Internal evolution is an expansionprocess of people to follow the rules, tends to prosperity, the result is a free society under therule state.

To ensure a social order ofnormally existence and expansion.Hayek’s theory of rules is the rule theory of liberalism, In addition to the generalcharacteristics of liberalism, there are several points should arouse our attention. In therelationship between rules and knowledge, Hayek has denied the role of reflection in theformation and development of rules, is in to the rules, which can not explain the rules ofdevelopment and innovation in the relationship of between people and rules.
