Imre Lakatos quotes
" Belief may be a regrettably unavoidable biological weakness to be kept under the control of criticism: but commitment is for Popper an outright crime. "

Imre Lakatos
" Blind commitment to a theory is not an intellectual virtue: it is an intellectual crime. "

Imre Lakatos
" Boldness in conjectures on the one hand and austerity in refutations on the other: this is Popper's recipe. "

Imre Lakatos
" But then the distinctively negative character of naive falsificationism vanishes; criticism becomes more difficult, and also positive, constructive. "

Imre Lakatos
" Contrary to naive falsificationism, no experiment, experimental report, observation statement or well-corroborated low-level falsifying hypothesis alone can lead to falsification. "

Imre Lakatos
" Einstein's results again turned the tables and now very few philosophers or scientists still think that scientific knowledge is, or can be, proven knowledge. "

Imre Lakatos
" For Popper scientific change is rational or at least rationally reconstructible and falls in the realm of the logic of discovery. "

Imre Lakatos
" If even in science there is no a way of judging a theory but by assessing the number, faith and vocal energy of its supporters, then this must be even more so in the social sciences: truth lies in power. "

Imre Lakatos
" Indeed, this epistemological theory of the relation between theory and experiment differs sharply from the epistemological theory of naive falsificationism. "

Imre Lakatos
" It would be wrong to assume that one must stay with a research programme until it has exhausted all its heuristic power, that one must not introduce a rival programme before everybody agrees that the point of degeneration has probably been reached. "

Imre Lakatos
" My concern is rather that Kuhn, having recognized the failure both of justificationism and falsificationism in providing rational accounts of scientific growth, seems now to fall back on irrationalism. "

Imre Lakatos
" Our empirical criterion for a series of theories is that it should produce new facts. The idea of growth and the concept of empirical character are soldered into one. "

Imre Lakatos
" Popper's distinction lies primarily in his having grasped the full implications of the collapse of the best-corroborated scientific theory of all times: Newtonian mechanics and the Newtonian theory of gravitation. "

Imre Lakatos
" Progress is measured by the degree to which a problemshift is progressive, by the degree to which the series of theories leads us to the discovery of novel facts. "

Imre Lakatos
" Research programmes, besides their negative heuristic, are also characterized by their positive heuristic. "
