Imre Lakatos
Falsification and the Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes
A METHODOLOGY OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PROGRAMMES
I have discussed the problem of objective appraisal of scientific growth in terms of progressive and degenerating problemshifts in series of scientific theories. The most important such series in the growth of science are characterized by a certain continuity which connects their members. This continuity evolves from a genuine research programme adumbrated at the start. The programme consists of methodological rules: some tell us what paths of research to avoid (negative heuristic), and others what paths to pursue (positive heuristic). Even science as a whole can be regarded as a huge research programme with Popper's supreme heuristic rule : `devise conjectures which have more empirical content than their predecessors.' Such methodological rules may be formulated, as Popper pointed out, as metaphysical principles. For instance, the universal anti-conventiolnalist rule against exception-barring may be stated as the metaphysical principle: `Nature does not allow exceptions'. This is why Watkins called such rules `influential metaphysics'.

Imre Lakatos
Falsification and the Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes
A Methodology Of Scientufic Research Programmers
I have discussed the problem of objective appraisal of scientific growth in terms of progressive and degenerating problemshifts in series of scientific theories. The most important such series in the growth of science are characterized by a certain continuity which connects their members. This continuity evolves from a genuine research programme adumbrated at the start. The programme consists of methodological rules: some tell us what paths of research to avoid (negative heuristic), and others what paths to pursue (positive heuristic).1 Even science as a whole can be regarded as a huge research programme with Popper's supreme heuristic rule : "devise conjectures which have more empirical content than their predecessors." Such methodological rules may be formulated, as Popper pointed out, as metaphysical principles.2 For instance, the universal anti-conventiolnalist rule against exception-barring may be stated as the metaphysical principle: "Nature does not allow exceptions". This is why Watkins called such rules "influential metaphysics".3 But what I have primarily in mind is not science as a whole, but rather particular research programmes, such as the one known as "Cartesian metaphysics". Cartesian metaphysics, that is, the mechanistic theory of the universe-according to which the universe is a huge clockwork (and system of vortices) with push as the only cause of motion-functioned as a powerful heuristic principle. It discouraged work on scientific theories - like (the "essentialist" version of) Newton's theory of action at a distanee-which were inconsistent with it (negative heuristic). On the other hand, it encouraged work on auxiliary hypotheses which might have saved it from apparent counterevidence -like Keplerian ellipses (positive heuristic).4

Imre Lakatos was a Hungarian mathematician and philosopher of science who was arrested in 1950 and imprisoned for nearly four years during the a brutal campaign of repression and terror. After he was released his status as an ex-political prisoner made it very difficult for him to find work, despite his excellent qualifications, but a friend managed to help him get a job at the Mathematical Research Institute in the Hungarian Academy of Science. In 1970, he published an essay entitled

Lakatos, Imre and Paul Feyerabend For and Against Method Including Lakatos's Lectures on Scientific Method and the Lakatos-Feyerabend Correspondence . Edited and with an Introduction by Matteo Motterlini. xii, 452 p., 7 halftones, 7 line drawings. 1999 Cloth $34.00sp 0-226-46774-0 Spring 1999
Paper $26.00tx 0-226-46775-9 Fall 2000 The work that helped to determine Paul Feyerabend's fame and notoriety, Against Method, stemmed from Imre Lakatos's challenge: "In 1970 Imre cornered me at a party. 'Paul,' he said, 'you have such strange ideas. Why don't you write them down? I shall write a reply, we publish the whole thing and I promise youwe shall have a lot of fun.' " Although Lakatos died before he could write his reply, For and Against Method reconstructs his original counter-arguments from lectures and correspondence previously unpublished in English, allowing us to enjoy the "fun" two of this century's most eminent philosophers had, matching their wits and ideas on the subject of the scientific method. For and Against Method opens with an imaginary dialogue between Lakatos and Feyerabend, which Matteo Motterlini has constructed, based on their published works, to synthesize their positions and arguments. Part one presents the transcripts of the last lectures on method that Lakatos delivered. Part two, Feyerabend's response, consists of a previously published essay on anarchism, which began the attack on Lakatos's position that Feyerabend later continued in

Summary of lakatos' effort to nuance the falsification doctrine and defend it from Kuhn's attacks.
http://huizen.daxis.nl/~henkt/lakatos-eng.html
IMRE LAKATOS (1922-1974), the ratio -defender
The Hungarian Lakatos tried to save Popper 's falsificationism from the criticism inherent in Kuhn 's paradigms, and that's why he nuances falsificationism. In his view Kuhn 's discontinuous revolutions in science don't fit in a rational science history. So far Lakatos had every right to have this opininion, but this obviously rigid rational scientist couldn't imagine that there was more than ratio . His view of a rational world included predictable crises, that didn't change the basics of rationality
Lakatos on the one side admits that science isn't linear, but on the other side still believes in a continuous rational science. In fact he wants to save rationality in the shape of that time. Kuhn was surely also a rational scientist, but with his discontinuous paradigms stumbled on the ir rationality
Lakatos merrily poked in the Popper-Kuhn controverse , but in fact he tried with all his might to save the division between rationalism and ir rationalism (the split that already Kant tried to repair). But ir

  • "Lakatos's contribution to the philosophy of mathematics was, to put it simply, definitive: the subject will never be the same again. (...) Lakatos made us think instead about what most research mathematicians do. He wrote an amazing philosophical dialogue around the proof of a seemingly elementary but astonishingly deep geometrical idea pioneered by Euler. It is a work of art - I rank it right up there with the dialogues composed by Hume or Berkeley or Plato. He made us see a theorem, a mathematical fact, coming into being before our eyes." - Ian Hacking, in a review of

Imre Lakatos was given the name Imre Lipschitz at birth, born into a Jewish family as his name clearly indicated. His life would be dominated by the chaos that resulted from the Nazi rise to power and World War II, the war breaking out when Imre was in his final years at school. It was a difficult period for Hungary, with the country unsure whether to side with Hitler or with the allies, but in many ways Hungary had few options. Hitler decided that he could not leave his vital communications at the mercy of an uncommitted Hungarian regime. In March 1944 Hitler offered Hungary the choice of either cooperating with Germany or the German armies would occupy the country. Hungary chose cooperation and appointed a government to collaborate with Hitler. The Germans did as they pleased, suppressing opponents and arresting anyone who spoke out against them. Jews were compelled to wear a yellow star and their property was taken away. Imre had spent the war years at the University of Debrecen and he graduated in 1944 with a degree in mathematics, physics and philosophy. To avoid the Nazi persecution of Jews he changed his name to
