Ted W: Keynes later abandoned the idea of "logical probability relations." He reports this abandonment in his biographical essay on Frank Ramsey (X pp. 338-9). Though this is widely interpreted as the abandonment of the idea that there is an objective basis for probabity judgments, it is, in fact, a replacement of a formal logic basis with what Keynes, borrowing a term from Ramsey, calls a "human logic" basis. Ramsey had elaborated this in terms of Peirce's "pragmatism." Keynes dissents from this aspect, but embraces the general concept. My own view is that he adlopted the elaboration found in what in modern European phlsophy is best represented by Husserl's "phenomenology", the most important source of such an elaboration in Keynes's own intellectual context being Whitehead's "process" metaphysics.
