"Heuristic power" and the "logic of scientific discovery"

why the methodology of scientific research programmes is less than half the story

John Worrall

pp. 85-99

Abstract

Since this paper is based on a presentation at a conference organised in honour of my late teacher and friend Imre Lakatos on the occasion of what would have been his 75th birthday, I hope I may be forgiven for beginning with a few autobiographical remarks, despite their irrelevance to the paper's intellectual content.
