Frege's puzzle and the objects of credence
Mind, vol. 120, no. 479, 2011, pp. 587–635
Abstract
The objects of credence are the entities to which credences are assigned for the purposes of a successful theory of credence. I use cases akin to Frege’s puzzle to argue against referentialism about credence: the view that objects of credence are determined by the objects and properties at which one’s credence is directed. I go on to develop a non-referential account of the objects of credence in terms of sets of epistemically possible scenarios.
