Abstract

type:P(論文)

J.M.Keynes criticized neo-classical economics and his General Theory brought "Keynes Revolution" in economics. His criticisms stem from his epistemological position developed in his Treatise on Probability. In this paper, we examine the main features of Keynes's induction in Treatise on Probability, and demonstrate how it is reflected on his economic method. Keynes's recognition of limitation of applicability of induction, and his concept of rationality underlies his view of economic model. Keynes's rejection of the atomic hypothesis in the moral sciences was to be the criticism of the methodological individualism in economics, and made him macro-economic approach.
