- An extended and complex piece of research in private law theory, undertaken over seven years. The book presents a critical argument against two dominant theories of private law (corrective justice and economic theories) and draws on the philosophy of moral responsibility to put forward an alternative to each. The research addresses not only existing work in private law theory, but also the extensive literature on moral responsibility. The principal arguments advanced in the book are applied to a wide range of practical questions in tort and contract.
