Abstract

This rejoinder to the foregoing critiques of the author's book, The Limits of Freedom of Contract, focuses on several themes: a) what range of contractually-related issues do courts possess the requisite institutional competence to address? b) whether problematic normative issues in contract law are amenable to rational analysis and at least provisional resolution, or are inherently indeterminate, contingent, and political? c) what the value of individual autonomy implies in terms of the type of transactions parties should be permitted to engage in? d) whether an "internal" rather than consequentialist theory of contract law is conceivable? and e) whether autonomy values are inconsistent with welfare values in women's participation in market activities? En r6ponse aux critiques precddentes de l'oeuvre The Limits of Freedom of Contract, l'auteur examine les sujets suivants: a) quelle est la port6e de la juridiction inh6rente des tribunaux quant aux questions contractuelles? b) les questions th~oriques du droit des contrats peuvent-elles 8tre 6tudiees de fagon rationelle afin d'obtenir une r6solution logique ou, au contraire, sont-elles d'un caract re ind6termin6, contingent, et essentiellement politique? c) que signifie Ie principe de l'autonomie personnelle relativement au type de transactions qui devraient 8tre permises aux parties contractantes? d) est-il possible d'envisager une th6orie contractuelle soit ointerne plut6t que simplement accessoire aux autres domaines juridiques? e) les valeurs autonomistes sont-elles en contradiction avec les valeurs sociales 6tatiques v6hicun6es par la participation des femmes au march66conomique?
