Description:

Title: What Assertion is Not

Many discussions of assertion assume that assertion is a normative kind. To think that assertion is a normative kind is to think that assertion can be individuated in terms of the norms to which it is subject. I argue that it is a mistake to consider assertion a normative kind.
