"This is certainly an important addition to this rather narrow body of academic scholarship"--Choice "Social Conventions is an important contribution to scholars from at least two disciplines--philosophy and law... [T]his book should interest anyone wanting to gain a better and deeper understanding of human linguistic and moral behavior."--Dana Riesenfeld, Pragmatics Cognition "This timely monograph should stimulate further philosophical studies of conventions in general and of their various manifestations in human affairs."--Kevin Toh, Ethics
