Abstract

I knew Imre Lakatos intimately between the autumn of 1958 and the summer of 1965. During this period we met almost every day and corresponded on those days we did not meet. In the summer of 1965 we had an extraordinary and widely discussed quarrel, after which we did not speak. Since the implications of this quarrel shattered me and altered permanently my attitude to my fellow professionals in philosophy, Lakatos must count among those who have influenced my life most deeply.
