An interdisciplinary and comparative approach is used to investigate how the law comprehends and gives effect to the these implicit dimensions of contracts. The significance of this enquiry is found not only in relation to the interpretation of contracts in many different contexts, but more fundamentally in how social practices involved in making contracts should be analysed and comprehendedInternational studies in the theory of private law.ContractsContract lawContractsPhilosophyContracts.ContractsPhilosophy.346.02Campbell David1958-Collins Hugh1953-Wightman John1952-UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910809629703321Implicit Dimensions of Contract990409UNINA
