Frank Ramsey's bibliography contains 18 published works. Eight of these are fairly extensive philosophical and scientific essays; the rest are reviews, short notes and articles for the Encyclopædia Britannica. The bibliography would, however, be incomplete if one did not add the articles published posthumously in 1931 and 1978 in The Foundations of Mathematics and Other Logical Essays (edited by R. B. Braithwaite) and Foundations: Essays in Philosophy, Logic, Mathematics and Economics (edited by D. H. Mellor). Thus the core of Ramsey's philosophical and scientific work consists of no more than, say, 15 papers. But they are 15 remarkable papers, profound and full of originality. Today most of them are recognized as the foundation of flourishing theories in logic, mathematics, philosophy of mathematics, statistics, probability theory, decision theory, semantics, scientific method, cognitive science, metaphysics and economics. But they are more than 15 brilliant essays on 15 disparate subjects. They all contain the same view of philosophy – a method of analysis – merging a sound portion of realism (or, as Moore preferred to put it, ‘the soundest common sense’) with Ramsey's kind of pragmatist philosophy.

In 1922, when he was only 19 years old, Ramsey published three short articles, two of them in the Cambridge Magazine. One of these, ‘Mr Keynes on Probability’, is a review of Keynes's A Treatise on Probability.
