Title: | Il circolo della fiducia e la struttura dell’affidarsi | Authors: | Fanciullacci, Riccardo | Keywords: | Trust; social ethics; intersubjectivity | Issue Date: | 2012 | Publisher: | EUT Edizioni Università di Trieste | Source: | Riccardo Fanciullacci, "Il circolo della fiducia e la struttura dell’affidarsi", in: Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics, XIV (2012) 1, pp. 277-303 | Series/Report no.: | Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics XIV (2012) 1 |
Abstract: | This essay is a contribution to the analysis of the concept of trust and of the practical relation based on it. First, we consider the centrality of trust in social life, as well as its special status: if trusting deserves to be fostered institutionally, it cannot be imposed by law nor encouraged from the viewpoint of personal utility, since it rests on individuals' freedom. Second, we analyse the structure of trusting as a special case of relying on someone: great attention is given to explaining what the trusting individual must attribute to the person in whom he puts his trust, concerning both his practical disposition and motivations. Lastly, we examine the way in which trust engenders trust, thus creating a virtuous circle. If the circle of trust seems to be without foundations, the relation with the mother, however, opens up, for us, its very possibility, while society structures the space of its circulation; yet even the transcendence of society may need another foundation. |
