文摘

Herman Cappelen has recently argued in favor of what he calls “the no assertion view- where the putative speech act is replaced with Paul Grice’s category of ‘sayings- To make his case, Cappelen produces four arguments against Timothy Williamson’s normative view of assertion, holding that the same arguments can be used mutatis mutandis against other non-normative views of assertion. In this paper I examine all four of Cappelen’s arguments against normative theories of assertion, and conclude that they fail.
