Introduction

Piero V. Mini

A chapter in John Maynard Keynes, 1994, pp 1-13 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This book is not a biography of Keynes. Like my previous one,1 it is an effort to understand Keynes’s major economic work through the beliefs he expressed in his other writings. These are viewed as being influenced by his personality and philosophy of life. Basically, this is a book on the methodology used by Keynes, a methodology determined by his general philosophical beliefs, and determining the unique nature of his economic theories. To schematise our standpoint: events, education, experiences, psychology determine a philosophy of life. Philosophy of life determines methodology. And methodology determines theories.
