Abstract

In Freges Puzzle and the Objects of Credence (2011), I argued for three conclusions. First (in Sects 27), I argued against referentialism about credence: roughly, the view that the objects of credence (that is, the entities that credence functions assign credences to) are constituted by the objects and properties that the credence is about. Second (in Sect. 8), I used this conclusion to argue against referentialism about belief: roughly, the view that the objects of belief are constituted by the objects and properties that the belief is about. Third (in Sects 9 13), I went on to defend a positive nonreferentialist view of the objects of credence in terms of sets of epistemically possible scenarios.
