Rutgers Annual Lectures presents Prof. Timothy Williamson (Oxford)

Wednesday, September 21, 2022, 04:30pm - 06:30pm

Lecture Two: Overfitting [9/21]

Overfitting is a well-recognized methodological problem in natural science, where use of models with too many degrees of freedom leads to unstable theorizing and failure to detect errors in the data. Overfitting is also a major but ill-recognized methodological problem in philosophy, exacerbated by its reliance on heuristics. General intellectual tendencies conducive to overfitting in philosophy will be discussed.
