The Obligation to be Trustworthy and the Ability to Trust: An Investigation into Kant’s Scattered Remarks on Trust

Publikation: Bidrag til bog/antologi/rapportBidrag til bog/antologiForskningpeer review

Abstract

Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) did not make trust an explicit focus in his philosophical works. After publishing Critique of Pure Reason and instigating transcendental philosophy in 1781, Kant published extensively on questions of practical philosophy. Here we find Kant’s scattered remarks on trust. The following exposition aims to reconstruct Kant’s remarks on trust as they unfold over different books: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, Critique of Practical Reason, Metaphysics of Morals, Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason, Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View, and Toward Perpetual Peace. The main suggestion is that, with Kant’s comprehension of the human cognitive faculties, a differentiated understanding of various forms of trust emerges.
