“…Van azonban a problematikának egy olyan szála, amely nagyon kevés figyelmet kap. Hamouda-Smithin (1988) szerint különösen fontos az a pozíció, amelyet Keynes foglalt el, hangsúlyozva az alapvető differenciát a vizsgált tárgyban a természettudományok és az ún. "moráltudományok" (társadalomtudományok) között, így annak alkalmasságát, amit Keynes írt le az "atomikus" és az "organikus" feltevések kapcsán.…”

“…Nevertheless, the necestherefore it significantly predates his work on the role of uncertainty in economics (Cf. Hamouda-Smithin, 1988). sity for action and for decision compels us as practical men to do our best to overlook this awkward fact and to behave exactly as we should if we had behind us a good Benthamite calculation of a series of prospective advantages and disadvantages, each multiplied by its appropriate probability, waiting to be summed.…”

“…There is, however, a thread of the problem that receives very little attention. Hamouda-Smithin (1988) attributes particular important to the position taken by Keynes, emphasising the fundamental difference in treatment of the topic under study between the natural sciences and the so-called "moral" sciences (social science), and thus its suitability, which Keynes described in connection with his "atomic" and "organic" hypotheses. A study of this aspect helps us understand the role of uncertainty in social relations, and also contributes to acceptance of Lawson's theory of "social interactionism" (Lawson, 1985:926).…”

“…He proceeded to suggest ways in which economists could reduce the uncertainty associated with theorising. Hamouda and Smithin (1988) suggested that much may also be learned from Keynes's organicism. The purpose here is to broaden the discussion further by considering Keynes's theory of knowledge in its entirety (including the key elements of uncertainty and organicism).…”

“…Quantifiable probability on the basis of statistical inference similarly is only feasible in particular circumstances: the events to be observed must be replicable, which requires that the system of which they are a part has limited independent variety, that is, it is atomic rather than organic (see Carabelli, 1988, pp. 104-8, andHamouda andSmithin, 1988). An ordinal probability estimate may be arrived at when this condition is not met, but that estimate may be held with varying degrees of uncertainty (depending on how much relevant evidence is brought to bear, that is, depending on the weight of the argument).…”
