| Sumario: | An essay is presented on the transformation of mathematical philosophy of philosopher Imre Lakatos in the 19th century. It explores four issues relative to Lakatos' historiography including lemma-incorporation or the method of refutations and proofs, difference of Hegelian lemma incorporation with Lakatos Bildungsroman, and the importance of lemma-incorporation. It adds that the formalism and logical theory of Lakatos lacks the definition and precision of lemma-incorporation in the history. |
