Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 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 in search of rationality in all of its forms. He thought he had found it in the historical development of scientific knowledge, yet he also saw rationality endangered everywhere. To honor Lakatos is to honor his sharp and aggressive criticism as well as his humane warmth and his quick wit. He was a person to love and to struggle with. PAUL K. FEYERABEND ROBERT S.

Significance / Collector Appeal: A substantial mid-century treatment of the philosophy of science that combines historical discussion with epistemology, methodology, and analysis of scientific concepts. Wartofsky's emphasis on science as an evolving human and conceptual activity gives the book interest beyond a conventional introductory textbook. The work remains associated with his broader contributions to historical epistemology, scientific models, representation, and the conceptual structure of scientific thought. At more than 500 pages, this is one of Wartofsky's major book-length treatments of the philosophy of science and has appeal for collections concerned with twentieth-century philosophy, scientific methodology, epistemology, and the history of scientific ideas. The 1968 Macmillan edition contains 560 pages. Shipping / Returns: Book will be carefully wrapped and securely packaged for shipment.
