About this book

Every human relationship, whether between lovers, friends, family members, or colleagues, involves trust or distrust. When we trust, we take for granted that others are not out to harm us; we relax and feel safe. When we distrust, we are fearful; we withdraw and try to protect ourselves. In Dilemmas of Trust Trudy Govier explores the profound effect trust and distrust have, not only on our relationships but on our outlook on the world and our sense of self.

Reviews

"Dilemmas of Trust is wide ranging, imaginative, and humane -- it takes into account many facets of personal experience and displays keen awareness of how complex many life situations can be. It speaks plainly and directly to the reader, draws on a wealth of examples, and holds one's attention from beginning to end. It is a pleasure to read." André Gombay, Department of Philosophy, University of Toronto
