Description

This is an analysis of the nature of promissory obligations. The subject is one which has attracted a great deal of attention among both moral and linguistic philosophers, but the book contends that much of the philosophical literature is flawed by its unreality and unfamiliarity with the serious problems that arise from the practice of promising.
