Abstract: A brief summary of the book *The Objects of Credence*. The book argues that credences, or degrees of belief, are ‘opaque’ or ‘hyperintensional’ and draws out the implications of this fact for principles of rationality, including deference principles and the principal principle, and for both decision theory and welfare economics.
