This book provides\u003cbr\u003etwo purposes regarding the complex legal institution of the contract. The first is the \u003cem\u003etheoretical purpose\u003c\/em\u003e 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, \u003cbr\u003eand unifying structure. The second is a \u003cem\u003epedagogic purpose\u003c\/em\u003e 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\u003cbr\u003ecomprehensive study of contract law. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis second edition retains the original text, and includes a new Preface.
