Some philosophers hold that trust grows fragile when people become
too rational. They advocate a retreat from reason and a return to
local, traditional values. Others hold that truly rational people
are both trusting and trustworthy. Everything hinges on what we
mean by 'reason' and 'rational'. If these are understood in an
egocentric, instrumental fashion, then they are indeed incompatible
with trust. With the help of game theory, Martin Hollis argues
against that narrow definition and in favour of a richer, deeper
notion of reason founded on reciprocity and the pursuit of the
common good. Within that framework he reconstructs the
Enlightenment idea of citizens of the world, rationally
encountering, and at the same time finding their identity in, their
multiple commitments to communities both local and universal.
