Abstract
We give an overview of Lakatos’ life, his philosophy of mathematics and
science, as well as of this issue. Firstly, we briefly delineate
Lakatos’ key contributions to philosophy: his anti-formalist philosophy
of mathematics, and his methodology of scientific research programmes in
the philosophy of science. Secondly, we outline the themes and
structure of the masterclass Lakatos’ Undone Work – The Practical Turn and the Division of Philosophy of Mathematics and Philosophy of Science, which gave rise to this special issue. Lastly, we provide a summary of the contributions to this issue
