This open access book offers new insights into issues raised in philosophy of mathematics and in philosophy of science by Imre Lakatos. Lakatos was one of the most significant philosophers of the 20th Century, and his ideas remain important and relevant today. 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. This volume consists of a selection of papers presented at the conference along with two additional contributions to debates about Lakatos’s continuing influence and importance.

About the Author
Roman Frigg is a philosopher of science. His research interests lie in general philosophy of science and philosophy of physics, and he has published papers on scientific representation, modelling, statistical mechanics, randomness, chaos, climate change, quantum mechanics, complexity, probability, scientific realism, computer simulations, reductionism, confirmation, and the relation between art and science. His current work focuses on the nature of scientific models and theories, the foundations of statistical mechanics, and decision making under uncertainty. He is Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). He holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of London and masters degrees both in theoretical physics and philosophy from the University of Basel, Switzerland. He is the winner of the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and a permanent visiting professor in the Munich Centre for Mathematical Philosophy of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich. He was the Director of the Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science (CPNSS) and the Co-Director of the Centre for the Analysis of Time Series (CATS) at LSE. He was associate editor of the British Journal for the Philosophy of Science and member of the steering committee of the European Philosophy of Science Association. He currently serves on a number of editorial and advisory boards.
J. McKenzie Alexander is a professor in the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His research interests include evolutionary game theory, the evolution of morality, the philosophy of science, and the philosophy of society. His most recent book, The Open Society as an Enemy, argues that, in the thirty years since the end of the Cold War, many of the core values of the open society have undergone a “value inversion” in the West: what were previously seen as virtues of the open society are now, by many people, seen as vices, dangers, or threats. In that book, he argues that this value-inversion is, with a few exceptions, mostly unwarranted. It aims to give a spirited philosophical defence of the open society, explaining why we should resist populist strands on both the left and right which threaten to undermine core aspects of the open society.
Laurenz Hudetz is a gymnasium teacher and philosopher based in Salzburg. He teaches mathematics, philosophy and psychology at Bundesgymnasium Zaunergasse. Previously, he served as an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics. His areas of specialisation are philosophy of science and logic.
Miklos Redei is professor of philosophy in the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He was a Visiting Fellow and Fulbright Scholar at the Center for Philosophy of Science in Pittsburgh, U.S.A.; he was a Senior Resident Fellow at the Dibner Institute for History of Science and Technology at MIT; and he had visiting positions in the Foundations of Physics Group in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and in the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of California at Irvine, U.S.A. His research area is philosophy and foundations of modern physics, especially quantum theory, and he worked on probabilistic causality and on foundations of classical and quantum probability. Redei also did extensive research on John von Neumann's life and work. He is the author of "Quantum logic in Algebraic Approach" (Kluwer, 1998); with two co-authors published the book "The Principle of the Common Cause" (Cambridge University Press, 2013) and edited several volumes, including "John von Neumann: Selected Letters" (American Mathematical Society and London Mathematical Society, 2015). He was chair, cochair and steering committee member of three major European Science Foundation grants that provided opportunities to develop philosophy of science in Europe in the period 2003-2013. He is a founding members of the European Philosophy of Science Association (EPSA) and was elected to serve on the EPSA Steering Committee. In 2018 he received the Carl-Friedrich Siemens Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
Lewis Ross is a faculty member at the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the LSE. He joined the LSE as an Assistant Professor in 2021, having completed a PhD in the Arche Philosophical Research Centre at the University of St Andrews in 2019. His current work is primarily in epistemology and the philosophy of law, with his monograph The Philosophy of Legal Proof due out with Cambridge University Press in 2024. Within the philosophy of science, Dr Ross has worked on the notion of scientific progress, scientific understanding and the use of forensic evidence within the criminal trial.
John Worrall is professor Emeritus at LSE, where he did his PhD under the supervision of Imre Lakatos and the was member of faculty for over forty years. Worrall has made seminal contribution to the philosophical understanding of theory-change in science and he’s the one of progenitors of structural realism. More recently, his research has mostly focused on methodological and evidential issues in medicine particularly those concerned with clinical trials and “Evidence-Based Medicine”. He was for 10 years the Editor of The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, has held Visiting Fellowships/Professorships at the Universities of Pittsburgh and Otago; and has given invited lectures around the world – in the USA and Canada, China, South America, Australia and New Zealand as well as Eastern and Western Europe.

I. Standard business terms

(1) The following terms and conditions of business apply for all contracts concluded with us as the supplier (preigu GmbH & Co. KG) via the websites AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of your own terms and conditions is explicitly rejected.
(2) A ‘consumer' in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman' refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .
(2) If an article is placed by us with AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the page on AbeBooks or ZVAB shall involve the binding offer to conclude a contract under the terms and conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the "Buy now" button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.
(4) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer's usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
