    This source was originally published in The Aristotelian Society vol. 36 in 1962. The source was also republished in Philosophical Papers: Volume 2 in 1978, a collection of papers from multiple philosophers.

  • Proofs and Refutations

    Proofs and Refutations
    This is another one of Imre Lakatos' works that was originally published in the British Journal for the Philosophy of Science Vol. 14, but then was republished on its own in 1976 as Proofs and Refutations: The Logic of Mathematical Discovery. I have cited the original work in the British Journal because that is the one that I referenced first. The photo used is from the more recent publication.

    Falsification and the Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes
    You'll see the citation is a bit long for this source. I've attached the description and citation in the text submission. But the article was published in a book titled "Criticism and the growth of knowledge. proceedings of the International Colloquium in the Philosophy of Science, London, 1965" which was actually published in 1970. There was some confusion for me while making this citation, so I hope to clear it up for the reader in a concise manner here.

    Lakatos' Death and a Lost Battle with Feyerabent
    Lakatos was supposed to publish a series of papers with Paul Feyerabend where they argued their side of the philosophy of science. Feyerabend defending his work in Against Method, and Lakatos arguing against the anarchism using his logic and scientific programmes. Because of his death, we never got to see Lakatos' actual reply. A student of his, Motterlini, published what he assumed Lakatos would say in a book titled For and Against Method published in 1999.
