Trust is an essential component of social life and yet political
polarization and social tensions can easily lead to its erosion.
The articles collected in this volume throw a new light on the
fundamentals of trust and trustworthiness and thus help us
understand better the conditions and the limits of trust. The book
brings together some of the best recent thinking on trust from
across a broad spectrum of approaches and concerns. The essays
range from the more abstract discussions of the conditions and
nature of trust, to its application to our social and political
lives in general, alongside more subject specific approaches such
as trust in the media. Trust is a thick concept with both epistemic
and normative content and significance, and several chapters engage
with the ethical features of trust in distinct ways and also show
the central role of trust in our decision-making. There is also an
engagement with the phenomenological approach of Husserl in
conjunction with Margaret Gilbert's theory of political obligation.
The final chapter, by Onora O'Neill, one of the pioneers of the
discussions of trust and trustworthiness in recent philosophy,
links the topic of trust to the central issue of the conditions of
trustworthiness. Given the paramount significance of the exercise
of trust in our daily lives, this book will be of interest to
philosophers and non-philosophers alike. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the International Journal of
Philosophical Studies.
