1974 corrected reprint of the influential Criticism and the Growth of Knowledge, edited by Imre Lakatos and Alan Musgrave and forming Volume 4 of the Proceedings of the International Colloquium in the Philosophy of Science, London, 1965. Originally published by Cambridge University Press in 1970; the copyright page of this copy states “First published 1970 / Reprinted with corrections 1972, 1974.” Cambridge and current bibliographic records identify the paperback under ISBN 0-521-09623-5. The volume grew from the celebrated 1965 symposium centered on Thomas Kuhn’s account of scientific revolutions and brings together major figures in twentieth-century philosophy of science, including Thomas S. Kuhn, Karl Popper, Imre Lakatos, Paul Feyerabend, Margaret Masterman, Stephen Toulmin, John Watkins, and L. Pearce Williams. It includes Kuhn’s statement of his position, a series of critical responses, and Kuhn’s reply. Condition: Good paperback. Original blue, white, and ochre wrappers show substantial rubbing, scuffing, creasing, and edge wear, with noticeable wear along the spine and corners. Spine remains intact and readable. Rear wrapper shows age toning and handling wear. Interior has several pale stains/spot marks visible on the title and copyright leaves, along with age toning. A faint circular mark is visible near the upper right of the title page. Binding remains intact. No extensive annotation or highlighting is visible in the photographed pages. Please see photographs for condition details. Significance / Collector Appeal: A landmark collection in postwar philosophy of science, documenting the direct intellectual confrontation among Kuhn, Popper, Lakatos, Feyerabend, and others over scientific revolutions, falsification, paradigms, and the rational growth of knowledge. The book remains widely used in the study of philosophy and history of science. Shipping / Returns: Book will be carefully wrapped and securely packaged for shipment. USPS Media Mail available for domestic orders, with expedited and international shipping available where applicable. Returns accepted in accordance with AbeBooks’ current return policy. SCI 2b.…
