Idea

Classically, the theory of stacks was motivated by the study of moduli problems for which objects are classified up to isomorphism. Higher stacks are a generalization where objects are classified up to some notion of equivalence, like complexes up to quasi-isomorphism, topological spaces up to weak homotopy equivalence, or abelian categories up to equivalence of categories.
