John Maynard Keynes 凯恩斯传
精彩点评
These technical deficiencies in Skidelsky's academic training
are the main defect,
not only in this book
but in the entire corpus of Skidelsky's writings
on Keynes going back over 30 years.
I will concentrate on Skidelsky's error
filled statements concerning Keynes's
A Treatise on Probability(1921;TP)
and the logical theory of probability. On p.95.

Skidelsky conflates the principle of indifference
with the principle of insufficient reason.
They are not the same.
Keynes's poi requires a balance or symmetry of the relevant,
available evidence or factors
involved before equiprobabilities are assigned.
Advocates of the principle of insufficient reason,
on the other hand,
argue that equiprobabilities can be applied in states
where no relevant evidence exists.
Keynes always rejected this kind of reasoning.

Skidelsky bases his assessment
of Keynes's logical theory of probability
on the error filled work of A. Carabelli and R.O'Donnell.
Carabelli and O'Donnell base their assessments
of the TP on four sources:
1) Keynes's introductory guide to the measurement
of probability in chapter III of the TP;
2) F. Ramsey's 1922 book review of the TP
in The Cambridge Magazine;
3) F.Ramsey's 1926 book review of the TP in his article,
"Truth and Probability",
published in 1931 in a book of articles; and
4) Keynes's 4 page eulogy
and very brief review of the book in 1931.
