Well, you know, it’s freaking hard to amass knowledge across fields today. History, economics, scientific epistemology, cognitive science, law, and the rather deep problems of philosophy.
I look back at Hayek and he came the closest. He came SOOO close but he couldn’t do it. And no one could synthesize the three of them: Hayek, popper and mises. And they were likely not aware of or at least sufficiently understanding of Brouwer, Bridgman, and Poincare’s efforts.
We just have too much an advantage in knowledge and information over those who wrote two generations ago.
I wish I could hug Hayek. And just talk to him for one hour. 🙂
