Chapter Chapter 5 in Keynes on Uncertainty and Tragic Happiness, 2021, pp 97-108 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter deals with the centrality of Greek tragedy in Keynes’s thought and in shaping his way of reasoning. It shows how the tragic idea of moral and rational irreducible conflicts and dilemmas and the Aristotelian idea of pluralism, heterogeneity and variety of values, claims and reasons are at the root of Keynes’s idea of uncertainty. This is also connected with his philosophy of measure and his idea of complexity as organic interdependence.
