I think Hayek makes a point somewhere how the slow evolutionary processes of careful reform in social concepts, politics and government, were actually laid out in 18th century english and scottish englightenment documents that were drawn upon by Darwin in his biological theorizing.

Yes, Hayek it is. He points out the abuse of reason as the misapplication of principles from one field to another. This is in his The Counter-Revolution of Science: Studies in the Abuse of Reason

Good to see you KC. Hope all is well with you.
