In this compelling book, John B. Davis examines the change and
development in Keynes's philosophical thinking, from his earliest
work through to The General Theory, arguing that Keynes came to
believe himself mistaken about a number of his early philosophical
concepts. The author begins by looking at the unpublished
'Apostles' papers, written under the influence of the philosopher
G. E. Moore. These display the tensions in Keynes's early
philosophical views, and outline his philosophical concepts of the
time, including the concept of intuition. Davis then shows how
Keynes's later philosophy is implicit in the economic argument of
The General Theory. He argues that Keynes's philosophy had by this
time changed radically, and that he had abandoned the concept of
intuition for the concept of convention. The author sees this as
being the central idea in The General Theory, and looks at the
philosophical nature of this concept of convention in detail.
