Abstract
Lakatos’ classical ‘Proofs and Refutations’ reports the ongoings in a classroom in Utopia Lakatos himself tried out the Utopian experiment in a real class early in the day — it was in Popper’s seminar, and while he was writing his doctoral dissertation which includes an early draft of his masterpiece. Not surprisingly, then, he was acidly critical of some aspects of the accepted modes of mathematical teaching (to be discussed below). Nonetheless, I know of no discussion of his educational philosophy — printed, manuscript, or orally presented.
I am grateful to Professor Peggy Marchi for her comments on earlier drafts.
