Abstract

Provavelmente, a questão do método seja uma das mais controvertidas discussões relacionadas à obra de Keynes. As controvérsias podem ser resumidas em três principais linhas: (i) o atomismo ou o organicismo como unidade de análise econômica de Keynes; (ii) a continuidade ou a descontinuidade das bases filosóficas, em termos epistemológicos e metodológicos, do pensamento de Keynes; e (iii) a especulação acerca do método científico utilizado por Keynes. O objetivo do artigo centra-se na última das linhas da controvérsia, qual seja, discutir o método científico na obra de Keynes. Subjacente a tal objetivo, apesar dos indícios de que o método do autor está relacionado tanto ao indutivo quanto ao histórico-indutivo, explorar-se-á o primeiro método, uma vez que, por um lado, ele diz respeito à teoria do conhecimento (epistemologia) desenvolvida por Keynes em seu Treatise on Probability e, por outro lado, ele está presente em algumas de suas importantes obras econômicas. Classificação JEL: B2; B4; E12.
