Abstract
  • This paper offers a genealogical analysis of Neoliberalism with reference to the broad category of the epistemic. It includes a focus and reflection on the methodology of genealogy, its unique effectiveness for philosophical analysis of history, and its importance for effectively understanding the present. The genealogy presented traces a distinct line of thought through three Austrian economists—Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, and Friedrich Hayek—revealing Neoliberalism’s views on the epistemic nature of human beings, government/state, and the market. Specifically, the analysis connects Neoliberalism’s epistemological understandings to a view of political individualism, and explores the features and consequences of Neoliberalism as a way of knowing the world, or as a totalizing world view.
