 What’s important for our purposes here is that multicentering accounts describe, in an elegant and compact way, the interlocking pattern of distinct but systematically related doxastic states of the particular parties to the conversation. Each party to the conversation has their own private doxastic states, which are properly characterized in terms of singly-centered propositions. And in cases of successful communication, the sincere speaker and credulous addressee wind up, not in the same doxastic state, but in doxastic states systematically related to each other, in ways that the multicentering account is designed to represent. So for our present, limited purposes—where we are concerned just with the relations between the doxastic states of speakers and addressees in successful communication, and are averting our eyes from the details of linguistic mechanisms that underwrite that communication and take us from the one to the other, and also from tools that characterize the overall state of a conversation rather than just the doxastic states of participants—a multicentering account becomes a way of implementing a recentering account. (There is a lot more to say about this. See for example Stalnaker 2008, 2014; Torre 2010; Ninan 2010b, 2012a, 2013; and Kindermann 2012, 2016.)
