Description
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his very influential but scattered papers on the philosophy of the physical sciences, and includes one important unpublished essay on the effect of Newton's scientific achievement. Volume 2 presents his work on the philosophy of mathematics (much of it unpublished), together with some critical essays on contemporary philosophers of science and some famous polemical writings on political and educational issues.
First Sentence
Sceptical philosophy has been teaching for more than two thousand years that it is impossible to achieve either the aim of conclusively establishing meaning or the aim of conclusively establishing truth.
