Fittingness and the Nature of Trustworthiness
摘要
The notion of trustworthiness has received increasing attention among philosophers. However, it has recently been argued that existing accounts of trustworthiness largely neglect the notion of untrustworthiness and thus fail to treat these conceptually related notions within a single theoretical framework. This paper addresses that gap by developing a unifying account grounded primarily in the normative concept of fittingness. The proposed account highlights the worthiness aspect of trustworthiness while incorporating the strengths of other prominent views in the literature.
