Trust is critical for social life, and yet it is alarmingly fragile. It is easily damaged and difficult to repair. Philosophers studying trust have often noted that basic kind of trust needs to be in place in order for social life to be possible. Although philosophers have suggested that basic trust must exist, they have not tried to describe in explicit terms what this basic trust looks like, or how it comes to be. In this article I will identify and describe a basic form of trust that I call recognition trust. It is a latent expectation we have in others to respect our moral status as persons. By conceptualizing recognition trust, I can explain why trust is not just a useful tool for social cooperation: having our personhood recognized is necessary for living a minimally decent human life, and trust is a necessary element of recognition. First, I motivate the need for conceptualizing a basic form of trust by looking at cases of moral injury and our inherent vulnerability. Such injuries involve the betrayal of an expectation we have in others to recognize us as persons with moral status. Second, I dig deeper into this basic human need of recognition that is thwarted in moral injuries. I argue that fulfilling this basic need requires a particular kind of trust that others will not morally injure us. Third, I give shape to recognition trust by describing its core features, showing why it is a candidate for basic trust. Finally, I defend my concept of recognition trust against a pair of objections.

认可信任

信任对于社交生活至关重要,但它却非常脆弱。它容易损坏且难以维修。研究信任的哲学家经常指出,必须建立基本的信任,才能使社会生活成为可能。尽管哲学家建议必须存在基本信任,但他们并没有试图用明确的术语来描述基本信任的样子,或者它是如何形成的。在本文中,我将确定并描述一种称为信任信任的基本信任形式。。我们期望别人尊重我们作为人的道德地位。通过概念化承认信任的概念,我可以解释为什么信任不仅是社会合作的有用工具:承认我们的人格对于最低限度的体面人类生活是必要的,而信任则是承认的必要元素。首先,我通过研究道德损害和我们固有的脆弱性来激发概念化基本信任形式的必要性。这种伤害背叛了我们对他人的认可,使我们认识到自己是具有道德地位的人。其次,我更深入地探究了人类基本的认知需求,这种需求在道德上受到了挫败。我认为满足这一基本需求需要一种特殊的信任,即他人不会在道德上伤害我们。第三,我通过描述认知信任的核心特征来塑造认知信任,并说明为什么它是基本信任的候选人。最后,我捍卫了我的承认信任的概念,以免遭到一对异议。
