Abstract

Imre Lakatos was one of the most significant philosophers of science and math-ematics of the twentieth century, and his ideas remain important and relevant today. As the entry on Lakatos in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy attests “Lakatos’s influence, particularly in the philosophy of science, has been immense”. November 2022 saw the centenary of Lakatos’s birth, and the event was marked by an international conference held at the LSE—where Lakatos made his career after he had emigrated from Hungary to England—the conference focussing on the continuing influence and relevance of his work. With the exception of two papers, this volume consists of a selection of papers that were presented at the conference.
