The death of Imre Lakatos on February 2, 1974 was a personal and
philosophical loss to the worldwide circle of his friends,
colleagues and students. This volume reflects the range of his
interests in mathematics, logic, politics and especially in the
history and methodology of the sciences. Indeed, Lakatos was a man

warmth and his quick wit. He was a person to love and to struggle
