In 1921 John Maynard Keynes published his famous dissertation “A Treatise On Probability” a fundamental book to understand his magnum opus “The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money”. Although, as time goes by, his opinion about probability has rather become an inter-subjective theory; there is a concept which is fundamental for the General Theory’s framework: The weight of argument. This paper is intended to analyse a method by which one is able to compare several weights, and to explain what the argument’s meaning actually is.
