Abstract: Belief-credence dualism is the view that we have both beliefs and credences and both attitudes are equally fundamental. Here, I defend belief-credence dualism. First, I explain five views about the ontology of beliefs and credences: belief-eliminativism, credence-first, dualism, belief-first, and credence-eliminativism. After briefly explaining why I reject eliminativist views, I motivate dualism by arguing that the remaining views, belief-first (that belief is more fundamental) and credence-first (that credence is more fundamental) cannot account for various roles of each attitude.
