Abstract
In this chapter, we will provide a brief overview of four other major philosophers of science: Paul Feyerabend, Imre Lakatos, Larry Laudan, and Alan Gross. Each of these philosophers’ work has been impactful and the reader must have some acquaintance with this literature if they are to be conversant in the contemporary meta-scientific literature.
