Contract as Promise is a study of the philosophical foundations of
contract law in which Professor Fried effectively answers some of
the most common assumptions about contract law and strongly
proposes a moral basis for it while defending the classical theory
of contract. This book provides two purposes regarding the complex
legal institution of the contract. The first is the theoretical
purpose to demonstrate how contract law can be traced to and is
determined by a small number of basic moral principles. At the
theory level the author shows that contract law does have an
underlying, and unifying structure. The second is a pedagogic
purpose to provide for students the underlying structure of
contract law. At this level of doctrinal exposition the author
shows that structure can be referred to moral principles. Together
the two purposes support each other in an effective and
comprehensive study of contract law. This second edition retains
the original text, and includes a new Preface. It also includes a
substantial new essay entitled Contract as Promise in the Light of
Subsequent Scholarship-Especially Law and Economics which serves as
a retrospective of the work accomplished in the last thirty years,
while responding to present and future work in the field.
