Main purpose of this study is to examine the social and political theory of F.A. Hayek. In this context firstly Hayek’s epistemology was asserted. This is because his social and political theory’s triangulation point its opposite attitude towards the constructive rationalism. Secondly the spontaneous order idea which is the core of his social theory was mentioned. With his spontaneous order that is the center of his social theory, Hayek followed Hume, Smith and Menger’s tradition. With spontaneous order Hayek tried to prove that how individuals independently undirected actions are unpredictable and can build stable constructs. Spontaneous order idea somewhat means the disclaimer of constructive rationalism. In the study after mentioning to his opinions on justice theories related to his epistemology and spontaneous order idea, his political theory was examined. In his political theory Hayek disproved the idea that the government of majority is equitable, legitimate and better, and stressed that governance has to attach to the rules which anyhow gives priority to governance
