Description
Trust is a fundamental component of social life, yet it can be eroded by political polarization and social tensions. This collection of essays sheds new light on the nature of trust and its limits, bringing together diverse perspectives from philosophy, politics, and media studies. The book explores the conditions and significance of trust, including its epistemic and normative aspects, as well as its role in decision-making and ethical considerations. The authors engage with various approaches, including phenomenology and Margaret Gilbert's theory of political obligation, to provide a comprehensive understanding of trustworthiness. Given the importance of trust in daily life, this book will be of interest to philosophers and non-philosophers alike, offering insights into the complexities of trust and its significance in our social and political lives.
