Full Idea
The point of the disquotational schema is that to say that a sentence is true is to assert it, and to assert a sentence is to say that it is true. We must then ask what it is to assert or endorse a proposition.
Gist of Idea
Disquotations says truth is assertion, and assertion proclaims truth - but what is 'assertion'?

A Reaction
[She is referring to the views of Crispin Wright] Most people would say that we assert something because we think it is true, and truth is obviously prior. Clearly if it has been asserted, that was because someone thought it was true.
