Creating Trust
本文论证信任是一种动态的情感关系，涉及责任，并区分了简单信任、基本信任、盲目信任和真实信任等不同层次。
Abstract: In this essay, we argue that trust is a dynamic emotional relationship which entails responsibility. Trust is not a social substance, a medium, or a mysterious entity but rather a set of social practices, defined by our choices, to trust or not to trust. We discuss the differences and the relationship between trust and trustworthiness, and we distinguish several different kinds or “levels” of trust, simple trust, basic trust, “blind” trust, and authentic trust. We then argue that trust as an emotional practice, can be “willful,” voluntary and a matter of personal responsibility.
