Trust is central to our social lives. We know by trusting what
others tell us. We act on that basis, and on the basis of trust in
their promises and implicit commitments. So trust underpins both
epistemic and practical cooperation and is key to philosophical
debates on the conditions of its possibility. It is difficult to
overstate the significance of these issues. On the practical side,
discussions of cooperation address what makes society possible-of
how it is that life is not a Hobbesian war of all against all. On
the epistemic side, discussions of cooperation address what makes
the pooling of knowledge possible-and so the edifice that is
science. But trust is not merely central to our lives
instrumentally; trusting relations are themselves of great value,
and in trusting others, we realise distinctive forms of value. What
are these forms of value, and how is trust central to our lives?
These questions are explored and developed in this volume, which
collects fifteen new essays on the philosophy of trust. They
develop and extend existing philosophical discussion of trust and
will provide a reference point for future work on trust.
