Trust is essential to human society and the good life. At the same
time, citizens of developed countries spend more and more time in
virtual environments. This collection asks how far virtual
environments, especially those affiliated with "Web 2.0", challenge
and foster trust? The book's early chapters establish historical,
linguistic, and philosophical foundations for key concepts of
trust, embodiment, virtuality, and virtual worlds. Four
philosophers then analyze how trust - historically interwoven with
embodied co-presence - may be enhanced through online environments.
Final contributions tackle the specific challenges of virtual child
pornography and democratic deliberation online. This is the first
collection devoted exclusively to the philosophical dimensions of
trust and virtual worlds. It helps bring the reader up to date on
the relevant concepts and issues, and on ways in which widely
ranging insights and approaches may nonetheless cohere into a
reasonably comprehensive account of trust.
