On Obligations : De Officiis
On Obligations (De officiis) was written by Cicero in late 44 BC after the assassination of Julius Caesar to provide principles of behaviour for aspiring politicians.It explores the apparent tensions between honourable conduct and expediency in public life, and the right and wrong ways of attaining political leadership.The principles of honourable behaviour are based on the Stoic virtues of wisdom, justice, magnanimity, and propriety; in Cicero's view the intrinsically useful is always identical with the honourable.Cicero's famous treatise has played a seminal role in the formation of ethical values in western Christendom.Adopted by the fourth-century Christian humanists, it beame transmuted into the moral code of the high Middle Ages.Thereafter, in the Renaissance from the time of Petrarch, and in the Age of Enlightenment that followed, it was given central prominence in discussion of the government of states.Today, when corruption and conflict in political life are the focus of so much public attention, On Obligations is still the foremost guide to good conduct.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Discharge of Contractual Obligations
Challenging orthodox understandings within modern contract law, Discharge of Contractual Obligations provides an innovative doctrinal, historical, and theoretical account of the discharge of contractual obligations.This book delves into a fundamental question: under what circumstances are parties released from their contractual duties for reasons other than performance of those duties?By re-examining cases of breach, frustration, and common mistake — three key doctrines in modern English contract law — this monograph demonstrates how these disparate areas of contract law are in fact instances of the discharge of contractual obligations due to a failure of condition.Championing the once-dominant 'failure of condition' model in English law, a straightforward yet groundbreaking explanation for discharge is proposed: ordinarily, parties do not promise to perform 'no matter what,' but instead make promises that depend on various explicit and implicit conditions. Across ten comprehensive chapters, English explores the theoretical and practical implications of the modern shift to the 'power to terminate' model.Recognising that a wholesale return to the failure of condition model is improbable, the book charts a pragmatic course, illustrating how several practical issues - such as whether a party in breach can terminate due to the other party's breach - are effectively rectified by revitalising this forgotten approach.Written by a leading academic whose contributions to private law have been referenced by courts throughout the Commonwealth - such as the England and Wales High Court (Commercial Court) and the High Court of Australia - this is an essential text for scholars and practitioners of contract law.

Shared Obligations in International Law
There are various situations in which multiple states or international organizations are bound to an international obligation in the context of cooperative activities and the pursuit of common goals.This practical phenomenon of sharing international obligations raises questions regarding the performance of obligations (who is bound to do what) and international responsibility in case of a breach (who can be held responsible for what).This book puts forward a concept of shared obligations that captures this practical phenomenon and enables scholars and practitioners to tackle these questions.In doing so, it engages in positive law-based categorization and systematization, building on existing categorizations of obligations and putting forward new typologies of shared obligations.Ultimately, it is contended that the sharing of obligations has relevant legal implications: it can influence the content and performance of obligations as well as the responsibility relations that arise in case of a breach.

Fellow Creatures : Our Obligations to the Other Animals
Christine M. Korsgaard presents a compelling new view of humans' moral relationships to the other animals.She defends the claim that we are obligated to treat all sentient beings as what Kant called "ends-in-themselves".Drawing on a theory of the good derived from Aristotle, she offers an explanation of why animals are the sorts of beings for whom things can be good or bad.She then turns to Kant's argument for the value of humanity to show that rationality commits us to claiming the standing of ends-in-ourselves, in two senses.Kant argued that as autonomous beings, we claim to be ends-in-ourselves when we claim the standing to make laws for ourselves and each other.Korsgaard argues that as beings who have a good, we also claim to be ends-in-ourselves when we take the things that are good for us to be good absolutely and so worthy of pursuit.The first claim commits us to joining with other autonomous beings in relations of moral reciprocity.The second claim commits us to treating the good of every sentient creature as something of absolute importance.Korsgaard argues that human beings are not more important than the other animals, that our moral nature does not make us superior to the other animals, and that our unique capacities do not make us better off than the other animals.She criticizes the "marginal cases" argument and advances a new view of moral standing as attaching to the atemporal subjects of lives.She criticizes Kant's own view that our duties to animals are indirect, and offers a non-utilitarian account of the relation between pleasure and the good.She also addresses a number of directly practical questions: whether we have the right to eat animals, experiment on them, make them work for us and fight in our wars, and keep them as pets; and how to understand the wrong that we do when we cause a species to go extinct.

Fundamental Rights and the Legal Obligations of Business
Corporations can significantly affect the fundamental rights of individuals.This book investigates how to determine the substantive content of their obligations that emanate from these rights.In doing so, it addresses important conceptual issues surrounding fundamental rights.From an investigation of existing legal models, a clear structural similarity surfaces in how courts make decisions about corporate obligations.The book seeks to systematise, justify and develop this emergent 'multi-factoral approach' through examining key factors for determining the substantive content of corporate obligations.The book defends the use of the proportionality test for ascertaining corporations' negative obligations and outlines a novel seven-step test for determining their positive obligations.The book finally proposes legal and institutional reforms - on both the national and international levels - designed to enhance the quality of decision-making surrounding corporate obligations, and embed fundamental rights within the corporate structure and the minds of key decision-makers.
