The Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes
Philosophical Papers Volume 1
Book • 1978
This volume compiles Lakatos's key papers on the philosophy of physical sciences, including his seminal essay outlining the methodology of scientific research programmes.
It contrasts with naive falsificationism by introducing concepts like the 'hard core', protective belt, negative and positive heuristics, and progressive versus degenerating problemshifts.
The work argues that scientific progress occurs through competition between research programmes, offering a rational reconstruction of scientific history.
