Assertion is a fundamental feature of language. This volume will be the place to look for anyone interested in current work on the topic. Philosophers of language and epistemologists join forces to elucidate what kind of speech act assertion is, particularly in light of relativist views of truth, and how assertion is governed by epistemic norms.
Brown and Cappelen offer an excellent introduction which lays out the dialectical space, and which explains the division of papers into those which address the nature of assertion ... and those which concern 'epistemic norms of assertion'. ... Brown and Cappelen's volume is rich and fascinating reading, and should be of interest for all contemporary philosophers of language and epistemologists. * Allan Hazlett, Mind *
