The Crisis of Public Confidence
Mariusz Wojewoda
Abstract
In this article, my concern is an analysis of trust, the principle value of creating community relationships. Lack of trust is connected with a high cost to social and economic relations among people. From the variety of approaches geared towards analyzing trust, I choose the philosophical and ethical perspectives of speaking about trust. I analyzed the problem of trust from two perspectives - vertical and horizontal. In the horizontal perspective, trust is related to the concept of authority. The lack of authentic personal authority leads to disintegration of community relationships. The point of horizontal trust is related to rational criteria of the social debates, and also to various forms of any social activity. In this article emphasis is placed on the rules of communicative action, which lead to the solution of disagreements, and serve the general idea of cooperation between people, institutions and firms. In the analytical part of the article I particularly focus on the concept of the authority of Hannah Arendt, as well as, the theory of formation and disintegration of the public sphere in the concept of communicative action by Jürgen Habermas.(original abstract)Keywords:
