As Mamiya (1986) points out, various thoughts in the British tradition of moral science, including moral philosophy, have a common structure. There are epistemology (theory of knowledge) and understanding of human behaviour in the base and theory of social order upon them. Mamiya finds the same structure in Keynes' thought. Keynes has his theory of probability and perceives that we live in the uncertain world. Therefore, we must act with expectations. Keynes remarks that the way to make expectation is different among the classes : the investing class, the business class, and the earner. The three classes view makes his original angle to economy, where financial activities rule industrial activity. We can also interpret Keynes' moral science with political practice. Ito (2006) notices Keynes' assertion that we should pursue three things together : economic efficiency, social justice, and individual liberty. It is different from modern economics whose purpose is efficiency only. Modem economics imitates natural science and adopts the hypothesis of economic man. The practice of moral science requires declining the model of economic man and deep understanding of human motives. The above proves Keynes to be a successor of the British tradition of moral science. But I'd like to represent that Keynes doesn't have clear theory of social order to combine self-interest with public interest like the thoughts in 18th and 19th century. It is because Keynes has a negative opinion on the old liberalism. There is a disconnection from the tradition. Whether Keynes is advanced or back depends on the interpretation.
