Imre lakatas presented a theory in order to appraise methodologies and to select the better one. This theory, which was called meta-methodology by philosophers, is based on some characters he believes a good methodology need to have and is inspired by his methodology (MSRP). Appealing to the history of science, this meta-methodology was to help us to choose the best mythology among all the methodologies and help historiographers to reconstruct history precisely as well.
After reviewing this meta-methodology's structure, the paper criticizes its operation to apprise methodologies and find the better methodologies, and their attainments to their propose. The paper also considers some problems that the meta_-methodology is encountered with in appealing to actual history and scientists' views, as well as the vicious circle rises when Lakatos is using them in the meta-methodology.
