At the risk (no pun intended) of extending this discussion well
beyond its natural life, the topic was thoroughly examined (if not
always accurately portrayed) throughout the late 80s and early
90s. Notably absent from this discussion here is the important work
of Tony Lawson, especially "The Relative/Absolute Nature of Knowledge
and Economic Analysis" (EJ, Dec.1987), and "Probability and
Uncertainty in Economic Analysis" (JPKE, Fall 1988), and Jochen
Runde, especially "Keynesian Uncertainty and the Weight of Arguments"
(Economics and Philosophy, 1990). Also there is Ch.22 in The Elgar
Companion to Economics and Philosophy, ed by Davis, Marciano, and
Runde. I mentioned earlier the Schmidt volume, from a conference in
Paris in 1993! Without intending to prolong it further, I hasten to
add that Keynes repudiated nothing!!! Any response to the last would
perhaps best be handled off-line.
