DESCRIPTION:This paper shows how late 1960s student protests influenced \n
 the thought of Imre Lakatos and Paul Feyerabend. I argue that student \nmo
 vements shaped their work from this period\, specifically Lakatos' \n'Meth
 odology of Scientific Research Programmes' and Feyerabend's Against \nMeth
 od. Archival documents show that their political environments at \nLondon 
 and Berkeley inflected their writing on scientific method\, \nentrenching 
 Lakatos' search for a rationalist account of theory change\, \nand encoura
 ging Feyerabend's 'anarchistic' theory of knowledge.
