Springer is publishing a history
of contractual thought in ancient China.
ABOUT THE BOOK
This book explores the
intellectual history of contract law in ancient China by employing
archaeological and empirical methodologies. Divided into five chapters, it
begins by reviewing the origin of the contract in ancient China, and analyzing
its name, primary form, historical premise and functions. The second chapter
discusses free will and lawfulness in the establishment of a contract, offering
insights into the impact of contracts on social justice. In turn, the third
chapter addresses the inner core of the contract: validity and liability. This
allows readers at all levels to identify the similarities and differences
between contracts from different eras and different parts of the world, which
will also benefit those pursuing comparative research in related fields.
Chapters four and five offer a philosophical exploration of contract history in
ancient China, and analyze key aspects including human nature and ethical
justice.
