Karthik Durvasula pointed me to Imre Lakatos’ “Falsification and the Methodology of Scientific Research Programs”. It really helped me pull together my thoughts on the philosophical underpinning of my dissertation. Found a hard copy at a used bookstore in Eugene, OR today. The world is kind.
It’s part of a larger target-comment-response collection. Kuhn is the target author and his response is titled “Reflections on my Critics” which I semantically parse as “A Response to my Haters” which makes me giggle.
i was reading this volume quite closely in 2012 for a term paper for a formal epistemology seminar i was taking! it's super weird and interesting!
Nice. I’ve only ever read the Lakatos paper but am looking forward to working my way through the whole thing at some point!
