Trust requires an intelligent judgement of trustworthiness


The philosopher Onora O’Neill, who received the Berggruen Prize for her thoughts on interpersonal trust, among other ideas. NYTimes

Trust requires an intelligent judgement of trustworthiness. So those who want others’ trust have to do two things. First, they have to be trustworthy, which requires competence, honesty and reliability. Second, they have to provide intelligible evidence that they are trustworthy, enabling others to judge intelligently where they should place or refuse their trust.
