Carey, Toni Vogel. 1975. How to confuse commitment with obligation. The Journal of Philosophy 72 (10) : 276–284.
Annotation
C. describes the view that (a) 'M undertakes an obligation to do A' unambiguously implies (b) 'M has an obligation to do A which he takes upon himself to fulfil' and that, a fortiori, it unambiguously implies (c) 'M has an obligation to do A', as the commitment-obligation fallacy.
