Argumenta – Journal of Analytic Philosophy

 

A Granular Synthesis

Issue: • Author/s: Mark Jago
Topics: Epistemology, Meta-Philosophy, Metaphysics, Philosophy of logic

I discuss Timothy Williamson’s approach to philosophical methodology in Overfitting and Heuristics in Philosophy, and its consequences for theories of belief, content, and what is said. I’ll argue that a medium-grained approach to these issues, situated in-between classical intensionalism and impossible worlds hyperintensionalism, is worth taking seriously.
