	"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

Top 5 quotes from Imre lakatos

"The most important such series in the growth of science are characterized by a certain continuity which connects their members."
"But then the distinctively negative character of naive falsificationism vanishes; criticism becomes more difficult, and also positive, constructive."
"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."
"Most, if not all, Newtonian puzzles leading to a series of new variants superseding each other, were forseeable at the time of Newton's first naive model and no doubt Newton and his colleagues did forsee them: Newton must have been fully aware of the blatant falsity of his first variants."
"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."
