The credence framework is widely used for working with probabilities in science, social science, and policy. Anna Mahtani argues that credences are not about objects in themselves, but rather about objects under a designator, and that this insight has far-reaching implications for our understanding of rationality, decision theory, and economics.

Anna Mahtani went to Leeds University as an undergraduate to study English Literature, but discovered philosophy while there and switched her degree. She went on to study at Oxford and Birkbeck before moving to Sheffield to write a PhD on the epistemic theory of vagueness. She then took up a British Academy post-doctoral position at Oxford, before moving to the LSE in 2013. In 2015, she won a Philip Leverhulme Prize. She has published on a wide range of topics, including vagueness, imaginative resistance, formal epistemology, and welfare economics.
