Imre Lakatos's Proofs and Refutations is an enduring classic, which
has never lost its relevance. Taking the form of a dialogue between
a teacher and some students, the book considers various solutions
to mathematical problems and, in the process, raises important
questions about the nature of mathematical discovery and
methodology. Lakatos shows that mathematics grows through a process
of improvement by attempts at proofs and critiques of these
attempts, and his work continues to inspire mathematicians and
philosophers aspiring to develop a philosophy of mathematics that
accounts for both the static and the dynamic complexity of
mathematical practice. With a specially commissioned Preface
written by Paolo Mancosu, this book has been revived for a new
generation of readers.
