Description
Book SynopsisWithout trust (in other persons, social connections, a host of natural phenomena and events, cultural symbols and structures, historical traditions, and religious or quasi-religious interpretation) no human life is possible. What is trust and how does it unfold in the various dimensions that compose human existence in a world of exhilarating splendor and incomprehensible horror?
Trade ReviewThere are relatively few philosophers capable of producing a book like this one.
Trust represents the work of a seasoned philosopher who has spent a lot of time thinking through the perennial and fundamental questions that persons interested in the pursuit of genuine wisdom must ask. It is a book that shows remarkable coherence, brevity, and depth. -- Norman Wirzba, Duke Divinity School
By these particular studies of trust as related to society, nature and self, the author leads the reader to a conclusive and original study of trust in philosophy (existential wisdom) as distinct from Cartesian doubt to undergird scientia and to retrieve the traditional philosophical understanding of the centrality of trust for producing philosophy as sapientia (existential wisdom). -- David Tracy, University of Chicago
