Popper is more methodology of science, while Kuhn is more protosociology of science. Kuhn’s book doesn’t refute Popper’s, even if he would have liked it to. I don’t know about the two others, but after reading about them briefly they seem as antirational as any philosophers subscribing to Hegel and/or Marx. When it comes to Lakatos specifically, I can say with certainty that his philosophy of mathematics has so little to do with mathematics that it’s not worth any paper (I studied maths and know many professional mathematicians personally).
