									<p>In this research seminar, Samuel Schindler presents and discusses new work on the condition of success in science.
</p>
<h3>Abstract</h3>
<p>What are the conditions for a theory to be successful? Clearly, a necessary condition is<br>empirical success. But for empirical success, it is widely held, a theory must not only be<br>consistent with the phenomena. It must also not be ad hoc. Much focus in the philosophy of<br>science over the last few decades has however been on what many regard as a sufficient<br>condition of success, namely novel success. Interestingly the rationale for the import of<br>novel success is often motivated as securing against ad hockery. The present paper will<br>critically review accounts of novel success and ad hocness, with an emphasis on the latter.<br>In the face of some prominent examples from scientific practice, it will propose a new<br>account that construes ad hocness in terms of lack of coherence.</p>
