Keynes's critiques of Moore: philosophical foundations of Keynes's economics
分析了凯恩斯未发表的使徒论文和《概率论》中的哲学讨论,论证其哲学发展可理解为对直觉概念的探索,从早期论文的二元直觉观转向《概率论》的两层认识论,最终在《通论》中回归二元观。
This paper analyzes three of John Maynard Keynes's unpublished apostles papers, "Ethics in Relation to Conduct, " "Miscellanea Ethica, " and "Egoism, " and the philosophical discussion in the first chapters of the Treatise on Probability. It argues that Keynes's philosophical development before and in the Treatise can be understood as an effort to make sense of the concept of intuition. Specifically, it is argued that Keynes abandoned a two-fold view of intuition in the early papers for a two-tier epistimology of acquaintance and knowledge in the Treatise, only to return to the two-fold view later in The General Theory.
