Förlagets beskrivning
Dr. Davis is one of the generation of philosophers that came of age during
the decade that spanned the interval between the assassination of President
Kennedy in 1963 and the resignation of President Nixon in 1974. Between its
dramatic endpoints, this period included the achievements of the civil rights
movement and the travails of the Vietnam War. It was a time when questions of
legal and political obligation possessed an intense practical urgency. This text is about a practice of contracting certain moral obligations
(where "contract" is used as it is in law today). It argues that Hobbes, Locke
and many of their predecessors were more serious about the contract part of
social contract than today's hypothetical contract theorists suppose.
