Rutgers Annual Lectures presents Prof. Timothy Williamson (Oxford)

Friday, September 23, 2022, 04:30pm - 06:30pm

Lecture Three: Hyperintensionality [9/23]

The ‘hyperintensional revolution’ proclaims that central metaphysical distinctions cannot be captured in modal terms since they are sensitive to differences between necessary equivalents. Such hyperintensionalism fits the profile of overfitting. It is motivated by case judgments that are explicable as results of a fallible heuristic and it leads to models with too many degrees of freedom.
