Here's a partial list of the work on Knight's methodology and  
philosophy published during the 1990s. The Handbook article John  
mentions did not provide more references because the item had to be  
short. Knight continues also to feature prominently in discussions of  
uncertainty and the theory of the firm; no references to that literature are  
provided, but a search on EconLit will produce a good list. I'm sure  
I've missed something that others can contribute. At the risk of some  
immodesty, I've included my own articles on the subject in the list, but  
suggest you look at my online cv, available from my web site, for a  
complete list of my Knight-related publications:
