Call for Nominations: Lakatos Award 2018, Deadline: 2 Oct 2017

The London School of Economics and Political Science invites nominations 
for the 2018 Lakatos Award.

The Lakatos Award is given annually for an outstanding contribution to the 
philosophy of science, widely interpreted, in the form of a book published 
in English.  For the 2018 award, books with an imprint from 2012 to 2017 
(inclusive) are eligible.

The Award, in memory of the former LSE professor Imre Lakatos, was made 
possible by a generous endowment from the Latsis Foundation.  It is 
administered by an international Management Committee organised from the 
LSE, but entirely independent of LSE?s Department of Philosophy, Logic and 
Scientific Method.  The Committee, currently chaired by Hasok Chang 
(University of Cambridge), decides the outcome of the competition on the 
advice of an international, independent and anonymous panel of Selectors 
who produce detailed reports on the shortlisted books.

For the 2018 award, nominations must be received by Monday 2 October 2017. 
Nominations may be made by any persons of recognised standing within the 
philosophy of science or an allied profession.  Self-nominations are not 
allowed.  Before a nomination is submitted, permission should be sought 
from the author(s) of the nominated book.  The Management Committee itself 
is not empowered to nominate books.

The Management Committee would like to apologise for the delay in the 
processing of recent awards.  Winners of the 2015 and the 2016 awards will 
be announced soon.  The 2017 competition will not take place.

Please send nominations, or any queries, to the Award Administrator, Tom 
Hinrichsen, at t.a.hinrichsen@lse.ac.uk, with ?LAKATOS AWARD: 
CONFIDENTIAL? in the subject header.  Nomination letters should be brief 
(no more than three paragraphs).
