Description

Is it good to be trusting, or should we be wary of trusting others? Trust seems to be the basis of large-scale social cooperation and even of democracy itself, but in recent years many commentators and researchers have lamented the dawn of a post-trust era. Edited by David Collins, Iris Vidmar Jovanovic, and Mark Alfano, The Moral Psychology of Trust examines trust from a variety of perspectives in philosophy and the social sciences. The contributors explore topics such as the nature of trust and its connection to a range of other emotions, conditions under which it is good to be trusting and trustworthy, and what role trust might play in our intellectual, moral, and political lives. The chapters apply theoretical perspectives on trust to a number of issues of current concern, including how trust can and should function in conditions of social oppression, trust and technology, trust and conspiracy theories, the place of trust in medical ethics, and the ethics of trust in a variety of interpersonal relationships.

The Moral Psychology of Trust, edited by Collins, Jovanovic, and Alfano, explores engaging moral questions regarding trust. The book is organized in four parts, each comprising up to six chapters written by different contributing authors. Chapters in part 1 deal with metaethical and metaphysical questions of trust, discussing, for example, its possible evolutionary origins and connection to free will. Part 2 looks at philosophical issues such as trust under oppression; part 3 examines trust in the context of various institutions (including technology providers, i.e., Google), while part 4 explores trust in personal relationships. There's a lot to like here: Nenad Mišcevic's chapter on trusting our moral intuitions and Tiger Ziyu Zheng's chapter arguing for a Neo-Aristotelian account of trust are especially notable—both in part 1. Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals.

Choice Reviews
This is an extremely valuable volume, both deepening the philosophical conversation about trust, and broadening it beyond philosophy.
