Mathematics, Science and Epistemology: Volume 2, Philosophical Papers Résumé

Mathematics, Science and Epistemology: Volume 2, Philosophical Papers Imre Lakatos

Imre Lakatos' philosophical and scientific papers are published here in two volumes. Volume I brings together his very influential but scattered papers on the philosophy of the physical sciences, and includes one important unpublished essay on the effect of Newton's scientific achievement. Volume 2 presents his work on the philosophy of mathematics (much of it unpublished), together with some critical essays on contemporary philosophers of science and some famous polemical writings on political and educational issues.

Mathematics, Science and Epistemology: Volume 2, Philosophical Papers Avis

' ... there is an essential unity of theme and purpose running through all the papers collected in these volumes. Many of the papers, even though they have been previously published, are not fully self-contained and can be understood only by reference to others. Their collection and the editors' cross-referencing thus serves the useful purpose of facilitating an assessment of Lakatos' contribution to philosophy.' Philosophical Books
' ... a well-produced book that every philosopher of science or mathematics will wish to have.' Philosophy
