Abstract: This paper addresses what I label Philosophical Keynesianism, mapping out itshistorical and analytical origins and pointing out its perspectives as an alternative benchmark.Its historical emergence is related to some theoretical and methodological researchresults within the post-Keynesian school of economic thought. An assumption is made asto the proper place Philosophical Keynesianism will have in the future, for its scope of investigationis becoming much more comprehensive and inclusive than the economic schoolwhich engendered it. The paper reviews some major contributions of this new field of inquiry,such as the books of Carabelli, O’Donnell and Davis. It also seeks to reinforce the casethat, as it is quite clear from Keynes’ approach to economic theorizing, economics should beseen as a moral and socio-historical science rather than a natural science, and that a more realistic and relevant study of economic phenomena should be grounded on some sort ofinterdisciplinary research. JEL Classification: B22; A12; A13.
