Het recht van de logica onderzoekt de betekenis van de afspraak die gemaakt moet worden door mensen die vrijwillig met elkaar willen communiceren. Het boek onderzoekt het recht en de normen die onlosmakelijk samenhangen met communicatie. Zoals redeneren, vrijwaringsrecht, weder-kerigheidsbeginsel, collectieve besluitvorming, onrecht-matige daad en strafrecht. Onderzocht wordt hoe het recht en de organisatie van de samenleving in overeenstemming gebracht kunnen worden met de communicatieafspraak, en hoe de rol van geweld teruggedrongen kan worden.
