Details

With contributions from experts in the field, this comprehensive Research Handbook provides a systematic overview of debates at the cutting edge of the philosophy of contract law.

The Research Handbook engages closely with general theories of contract law, entering into detailed theoretical discussions surrounding its principles, rules and doctrines, as well as its moral foundations. Chapters explore key themes such as the limits of freedom of contract; debates about monistic and pluralistic theories of contract law; and the philosophical challenges associated with resolving hard cases. The Research Handbook on the Philosophy of Contract Law suggests paths for future studies, emphasising the need to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Wide-ranging in scope, this Research Handbook is an essential resource for scholars and students in contract law theory, moral and political philosophy, jurisprudence and law and economics. Legal practitioners and policy experts seeking an overview of current theoretical debates will also benefit greatly from this book.
