This article examines F.A. Hayek’s reflections on responsibility through H.L.A. Hart’s analytical categories. While Hayek touches on various aspects of responsibility in his works, he does so without presenting a systematic frame- work. In contrast, Hart, in his analytical approach, identifies four main types of responsibility: role-responsibility, causal responsibility, liability-responsibility, and capacity-responsibility. Applying Hart’s distinctions (which are descriptive in nature) to Hayek’s primarily normative ideas highlights Hayek’s emphasis on the pivotal role of free individuals in society, the significant impact of accepting causal responsibility on human achievement, and the indispensability of liabili- ty-responsibility in maintaining order within a free society. Additionally, it shows that accurately defining sufficient capacity is crucial for determining whether an individual is competent and accountable for their actions. The resulting analysis reveals the complexity of Hayek’s concept, showing that it encompasses senses of responsibility previously unrecognized within his thought, with each type of responsibility tailored to support liberty.
