摘要

本文首先考察了承诺义务的各种概念，这些概念提出了与承诺相关的一系列可能的利益。时间扩展的实践理性理论表明，为了获得这种利益，承诺人将其承诺视为具有约束力可能是合理的。困难在于，无论约束承诺可能具有什么实际和规范的好处，承诺人履行承诺并不总是认识理性的。因此，在某种程度上，市场依赖于有约束力的承诺，它们依赖于人类决策中的非理性因素。

The Rationality of Promising

This essay first examines various conceptions of promissory obligation, which suggest a range of possible benefits associated with promising. Theories of temporally extended practical rationality suggest that to obtain benefits of this kind, it may be rational for a promisor to treat his or her promise as binding. The difficulty is that, whatever practical and normative benefits binding promises may have, it will not always be epistemically rational for the promisor to perform. Thus, to the extent that markets rely on binding promises, they rely on an element of irrationality in human decision-making.

期刊介绍： Founded in 1991, the Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy (JLPP) has quickly risen to become one of the leading public policy journals in the nation. A fixture among the top 10 policy journals, JLPP has consistently been among the top 100 student-edited law journals. JLPP publishes articles, student notes, essays, book reviews, and other scholarly works that examine the intersections of compelling public or social policy issues and the law. As a journal of law and policy, we are a publication that not only analyzes the law but also seeks to impact its development.
