Quasi-empiricism was developed by Imre Lakatos, inspired by the philosophy of science of Karl Popper.

Up until that time MacIntyre had been a relatively influential analytic philosopher of a Marxist bent whose inquiries into moral philosophy had been conducted in a “ piecemeal way, focusing first on this problem and then on that, in a mode characteristic of much analytic philosophy .” However, after reading the works of Thomas Kuhn and Imre Lakatos on philosophy of science and epistemology MacIntyre was inspired to change the entire direction of his thought, tearing up the manuscript he had been working on and deciding to view the problems of modern moral and political philosophy “ not from the standpoint of liberal modernity, but instead from the standpoint of ... Aristotelian moral and political practice .”

The Lakatos Award is given annually for a contribution to the philosophy of science which is widely interpreted as outstanding.

In 1986, van Fraassen received the Lakatos Award for his contributions to the philosophy of science.

It was originally developed building on work in the philosophy of science by Karl Popper and Imre Lakatos.

He can be considered a member of the quasi-empiricist or fallibilist school in philosophy of mathematics inspired by the work of Imre Lakatos.

" Other thinkers, notably Imre Lakatos, have applied a version of falsificationism to mathematics itself.

The philosopher Imre Lakatos in his Proofs and Refutations aimed to sharpen the formulation of informal mathematics, by reconstructing its role in nineteenth century mathematical debates and concept formation, opposing the predominant assumptions of mathematical formalism.

At the end of the Introduction, Lakatos explains that his purpose is to challenge formalism in mathematics, and to show that informal mathematics grows by a logic of " proofs and refutations ".

Contributions to this school have been made by Imre Lakatos and Thomas Tymoczko, although it is not clear that either would endorse the title.

Solipsism is not a falsifiable hypothesis as described by Karl Popper or Imre Lakatos: there does not seem to be an imaginable disproof.

In Lakatos ' sense, a research programme is a sequence of problems, placed in order of priority.

* Philosophers such as Karl Popper and Imre Lakatos have popularized the idea, that criticism is a normal part of scientific activity.

Lakatos claimed that a research program is informed by metaphysical beliefs as well as observation of facts, and may infinitely resist falsification if a scientist wishes to continue holding it in spite of problems or the discovery of new evidence.

Imre Lakatos cites Hermann Hankel as the early origin of this attribution, but disputes the claim saying that " there is ample evidence that he had no idea of this concept [...] for instance, when he discusses piecewise continuous functions, he says that at points of discontinuity the function has two values ".

The original Trimba is still played today by Moondog's friend Stefan Lakatos, a Swedish percussionist, to whom Moondog also explained the methods for building such an instrument.

It is also related to the work of Thomas Kuhn, Imre Lakatos, Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein and others.

* Imre Lakatos ' Proofs and Refutations: the Logic of Mathematical Discovery is published posthumously.

Both Lakatos and Feyerabend suggest that science is not an autonomous form of reasoning, but is inseparable from the larger body of human thought and inquiry.

Proofs and Refutations is a book by the philosopher Imre Lakatos expounding his view of

It is found in the work of Jürgen Habermas and Imre Lakatos.

Somewhat of a middle view between the " postmodernist " and " realist " camps is that put forward by thinkers such as Imre Lakatos.

For Lakatos, scientific knowledge is progressive ; however, it progresses not by a strict linear path where every new element builds upon and incorporates every other, but by an approach where a " core " of a " research program " is established by auxiliary theories which can themselves be falsified or replaced without compromising the core.

Thus, for Lakatos the character of science is that of being both revolutionary and progressive ; both socially informed and objectively justified.

The Award is in memory of Imre Lakatos and has been endowed by the Latsis Foundation.

Lakatos argues for a different kind of textbook, one that uses heuristic style.

Knight Géza Lakatos de Csíkszentsimon ( Hungarian title / name: " vitéz lófő csíkszentsimoni Lakatos Géza "; in German: Geza Ritter Lakatos, Edler von Csikszentsimon ) ( Budapest, 30 April 1890 – Adelaide, 21 May 1967 ) was a general in Hungary during World War II who served briefly as Prime Minister of Hungary, under governor Miklós Horthy from 29 August 1944, until 15 October 1944.

Lakatos was forced to resign that day.

There he was confronted with a demand to sign a typewritten statement handed to him by Premier Géza Lakatos.

Surprised that his loyal friend would encourage him to sign the document, Horthy was told by Lakatos that his son's life was at stake.

Lakatos may have been the first to use ' quasi-empiricism ' in the context of this subject.

Imre Lakatos suggested ( as an alternative to Kuhn's formulation ) that scientists actually work within research programmes.

Romani virtuoso like Bela Babai, Lajos Veres, the many members of the Lakatos family and others became famous.

Nowadays the names of Roby Lakatos, Buffo Sandor and Sandor Jaroka still are household names for the Western connoisseurs of this type of music.

Philosopher of math and science Imre Lakatos, a student of Karl Popper, described the nature of science in a similar manner.

Many of the biggest names in modern Hungarian music are the verbunkos-playing Lakatos family, including Sándor Lakatos and Roby Lakatos.
