Frames of Deceit is a philosophical investigation of the nature of
trust in public and private life. It examines how trust originates,
how it is challenged, and how it is recovered when moral and
political imperfections collide. In politics, rulers may be called
upon to act badly for the sake of a political good, and in private
life intimate attachments are formed in which the costs of betrayal
are high. This book asks how trust is tested by human goods, moral
character and power relations. It explores whether an individual's
experience of betrayal differs totally from that of a community
when it loses and then seeks to recover a vital public trust.
Although this is a work of political philosophy it is distinctive
in examining three literary texts - Sophocles' Philoctetes,
Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida, and Zola's Therese Raquin - in
order to deepen our understanding of the place of trust in morality
and politics.
