"Trust, Love and Accountability" --- our blog now hosts an exchange between Emanuela Ceva and Stephen Darwall about his view of trust as a "second personal attitude of the heart:" how does this view of personal trust differ from that presupposed in the relations of interdependence between officeholders?

In Trust as a Second-Personal Attitude (of the Heart), Stephen Darwall presents relations of trust as sustained by a second-personal attitude. In a trust relation, the trusted person recognizes the fact that the trustor depends on them as a reason to do what the trustor expects of them. Darwall sees...

📣New blog post: How should we understand trust relations within public institutions? Can we understand them in function of the officeholders' affective states?

In Trust as an Affective Attitude (1996), Karen Jones emphasises the role of people’s goodwill and expectations in interpersonal relations of trust. For Jones, people can establish a trust relation in virtue of their affective states, which shape how people interpret others’ actions.

De la propagation de la kleptocratie au Venezuela à la nomination par le Président Trump de membres de sa famille à des postes de haut rang à la Maison Blanche, la corruption politique est omniprésente dans le monde entier - en fait, elle est pratiquement trop omniprésente et multiforme pour qu'on puisse en garder la trace. Mais existe-t-il un noyau conceptuel commun pour toutes ces manifestations de la corruption politique ? Le dernier podcast de la Faculté de Sciences de la Societé de Université de Genève aborde cette question à partir du dernier livre par Emanuela Ceva "Political Corruption. The Internal Enemy of Public Institutions" (Oxford University Press), écrit avec Maria Paola Ferretti.

The EnTrust Project's blog is born! The first post asks what the late Katherine Hawley's commitment view of trust can tell us to understand the endogenous dynamics of institutional trustworthiness
