SUMMARY:Commitment\, assertion and conceptual engineering
DESCRIPTION:Guido Loehr (Univ. Bochum) Descartes is committed to a wacky on
 tology\, the couple feels committed to help the drowning child and I have 
 commitment problems. The term &lsquo\;commitment&rsquo\; is ubiquitous not
  only in ordinary language but also in many philosophical and linguistic t
 heories\, e.g.\, of collective intentionality or speech acts like promises
  and assertions. It is surprising that despite the ubiquity of the term th
 ere is very little discussion on what we mean by &lsquo\;commitment&rsquo\
 ;. After presenting an account of commitments\, I show why commitment acco
 unts of assertion only account for a small number of assertions and how we
  can use this account to give a unified theory of conceptual engineering.
