Complexity theory is founded on post-positivist thinking. However, aspects of complexity theory are found in the writings of Liberal political philosophers such as John Locke and Immanuel Kant. This paper focuses on one aspect of Liberal political philosophy: how liberal social-political orders emerge from the interactions of individuals. The author argues that while complexity theory and Liberal political philosophy are compatible concerning emergent orders, they differ on scientific method and foundational norms. This is this important because Liberal political philosophy is a significant part of the foundation of the United States political order and impacts how public administrators implement public policies.

The term 'neoliberalism' has since around 1980 become a quite widely used exhortation in some political and academic debates. Prolific employment of a term does not signify, however, that it is clearly defined. In this article it is suggested that while the concept itself has become an imprecise buzzword in much of the literature, it might still be given a more precise definition. If this is done, then the term could become a useful analytical device in order to describe some recent trends in economic thought and political theory, even if it would be an obvious overstatement to say that we live in a neoliberal age or a neoliberal world.
