Description

Explore the philosophical foundations of contract law with Contract as Promise: A Theory of Contractual Obligation. Published by Oxford University Press, this work by Professor Fried addresses common assumptions regarding legal obligations and proposes a strong moral basis for the law while defending classical theory. This book serves a dual purpose for readers interested in the complex legal institution of the contract. It provides a theoretical framework to demonstrate how contract law is determined by a small number of basic moral principles. By examining the underlying and unifying elements of the law, the author offers a deep look into how legal rules connect to fundamental ethics. This text is a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the moral principles that shape modern contract law.
