Rezensionen

"In this relatively short and accessible book, Cohen not only develops a novel yet plausible conception of trust (based on interpersonal practices of giving and accepting commitments) but he also engages a wide variety of quantitative social scientific research in testing various empirical beliefs about trust, such as whether 'trust begets trust' and 'trust is contagious'. His commitments-based theory of trust will stand as a worthy alternative to those that have dominated previous discussions about trust."

Susan Dimock, York University, Canada

"The question of how we might apply the relational conception of trust to entire industries, and between organizations, is one that our field should urgently take up. Equally important is the related matter of empirically and philosophically targeting the conditions under which trustworthiness of a given other cannot be positively impacted by our trusting them, and when and why it is morally permissible to be distrusting. The Nature and Practice of Trust propels us and equips us to embark on these inquiries."
