  • Contribution to the Philosophy of Science

    Imre Lakatos contributions to the philosophy of science are vast, but Lakatos’ “most important achievements of twentieth-century philosophy” is his work on Falsification and the Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes. Lakatos’ work is reviewed by the British author, Paul Feyeabend and I have provided a quote from Feyerabend in the Assignment text box.
