Abstract
The Objects of Credence grew from a simple insight, which is that credence claims are opaque (or ‘hyperintensional’). This central idea can be illustrated using the following example:
(1) Tom has a high credence that George Orwell is a writer.
(2) Tom has a low credence that Eric Blair is a writer.
