“Trust, trustworthiness, and distrust in contexts of dissent”
Abstract: Dissent places additional demands on trust—changing the calculations involved in decisions to trust and judgements of trustworthiness. Acts of trust undertake a vulnerability in contexts of risk or uncertainty accompanied by an expectation that the trusted will be appropriately responsive to the trustor’s interests and vulnerabilities. This paper explores how dissent in argumentative contexts can result in a lack of trust, or outright distrust, in argumentation as a reasonable dispute resolution mechanism.
