What is a soft contract?

What is a soft contract?

Applied Philosophy

Dear Reader,

A soft contract sets out a public, mutually beneficial, yet non-binding agreement, between three parties.

A soft contract seeks to rekindle trust amongst those that might feel hesitant to do so within the community by giving them an opportunity to be part of a shared economy.

A soft contract gives permission for any individual to rediscover themselves through a paid obligation and in doing so move to a position of prudential and moral safety.

The objects of a soft contract are:

  1. The parties
  2. The transaction
  3. The obligation

The parties are individuals or collectives seeking agency through title as:

  1. Contractee
  2. Contractor
  3. Community

The transaction is a prudential exchange as defined by:

  1. Terms
  2. Scope
  3. Liability

The obligation is a moral commitment anchored through:

  1. Understanding
  2. Fairness
  3. Social integration

Finally, any stable system of soft contracts will emphasise the importance of achieving a meaningful balance between personal and professional life.
