“The act of willingly subtracting from one's own limited store of the good and the agreeable for the sake of adding to that of others reflects the understanding that individual happiness needs a base broader than the mere satisfaction of selfish passions. From there, it is not such a large step to the realization that respecting the susceptibilities and rights of others is as important as defending one's own susceptibilities and rights if civilized society is to be safeguarded.” IfsNeedsImportantPassionIndividualUnderstandingStepsRightsMereSakeSatisfactionStoresSelfishRealizationCivilizedCivilized SocietySusceptibilityIndividual Happiness Book:Towards a true refuge Source: Towards a true refuge

“My basic approach is to recognize that mainstream legal theories of contract have been muddied by unlibertarian and positivistic conceptions of law and rights. Questions about what rights are "alienable" or not, loose talk about how promises should be "binding," etc., highlight the need for clarity in this area.
