Abstract
Ramsey’s 1922 and 1926 critiques about Keynes’s logical ,objective probability relations overlooked Keynes’s already specified response that Keynes had incorporated on pp. 35-36 of chapter III of the A Treatise on Probability FIVE YEARS before Ramsey made his critique .This fact calls into question (a) whether Ramsey ever actually read the book he claimed to be reviewing and (b) whether those adhering to Ramsey’s “critique “ ever read the A Treatise on Probability either. It is bizarre that these same unsupportable claims are being rehashed again in C. Misak’s autobiography on Ramsey in 2020.
