Abstract: This paper will explore a possible relationship between John Maynard Keynes and Franz Brentano on logical and epistemological grounds. Brentano (1839-1917) was a German philosopher. George E. Moore – Keynes’s professor – and Keynes himself read and praised Brentano’s book The Origin of Our Knowledge of Right and Wrong (1889). Has Keynes adopted any logical or epistemological ideas from Brentano? The paper suggests that although some apparent similarities between Keynes and Brentano’s ideas on logic ad truth, there are also fundamental dissimilarities.
