Abstract:
Commitment accounts of assertion and promises are becoming more and more popular. But what exactly are commitments? This question has not been fully discussed in the literature. This makes commitment accounts difficult to assess. In my talk, I will give an account of what commitments are. I will respond and reject previous analyses in the literature and in particular discuss Bart Geurts’ recent definition in detail.
