Only encapsulated-interest accounts ground trust in prior trustworthiness judgments

Evidence

While the alternative accounts of trustworthiness in chapter 2 are generally credible, none of the alternative accounts of trust considered here (excepting the accounts that are actually about trustworthiness) is credible for more than the occasional odd instance of trusting. Others may be able to show that such doubt is misplaced; if not, the account of any substantial category of trust relations must be based in large part on a prior account of trustworthiness. — Russell Hardin, Trust and Trustworthiness, 339

Categorization

• QUESTION: Hardin hedges (‘Others may be able to show such doubt is misplaced’) — worth checking whether any non-cognitive account of trust survives his dismissal, which bears on how strictly Luhmann’s baseline familiarity can be read as trust.
