Resumo: John Maynard Keynes' conception of the capitalist economy is primarily characterized by uncertainty. The view on uncertainty, inherent in reality itself, is fundamentally supported both by his theory of probability, expressed in the Treatise on Probability, which demonstrates that probability does not deal with calculating the frequencies of past phenomena, but rather that it is closely linked to a logical and rational relationship of how human beings perceive and interact with something, as well as by a realistic worldview. We hypothesize that Keynes was able to grasp a fundamental aspect of objective reality: the juxtaposition between the intentionality of individual actions and the interaction of these actions with the entirety of society. Thus, this study aims to analyze the foundations of Keynes' conception of the uncertain nature of reality and the formation of expectations, in order to understand his proposals for state intervention in his General Theory.

A visão sobre a incerteza, inerente a própria realidade, se ampara fundamentalmente tanto em sua teoria da probabilidade, expressa em Treatise on Probability, – a qual demonstra que a probabilidade não trata do cálculo das frequências dos fenômenos passados, mas que ela está intimamente ligada a uma relação lógica e racional de como o ser humano conhece algo e interage com este algo – quanto numa visão realista do mundo. Sustentamos a hipótese de que Keynes conseguiu apreender um aspecto primordial na realidade objetiva: a contraposição entre intencionalidade das ações dos indivíduos e a interação dessas ações com a totalidade da sociedade. Desse modo, o presente trabalho intenta analisar as bases da concepção acerca do caráter incerto da realidade e da formação das expectativas em Keynes, para, a partir daí, compreender suas propostas de intervenção do Estado em sua Teoria Geral.EDUFU2023-09-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/revistaeconomiaensaios/article/view/6674610.14393/REE-v38n2a2023-66746Revista Economia Ensaios; Vol. 38 No. 2 (2023)Revista Economia Ensaios; v. 38 n. 2 (2023)1983-19940102-2482reponame:Economia Ensaiosinstname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/revistaeconomiaensaios/article/view/66746/36849Copyright (c) 2023 Revista Economia Ensaiosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlves Freitas, Petrusde Castro Vieira, Filipe2023-09-21T14:00:16Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/66746Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/revistaeconomiaensaiosPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/revistaeconomiaensaios/oai||ecoensaios@ufu.br|| ecoensaios@ufu.br1983-19940102-2482opendoar:2023-09-21T14:00:16Economia Ensaios - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
