Abstract

Algumas recentes abordagens filosóficas da confiança – dentre as quais se destaca a de Russell Hardin – vêem na confiança uma propensão de base cognitiva fundada em crenças racionais quanto à extensão em que estamos convencidos de que nossos interesses são contemplados pelos interesses daqueles com quem interagimos. Neste artigo, apresentamos as vantagens de uma visão rival, a saber a de que a confiança é primariamente uma atitude afetiva. Sustentamos que a mencionada abordagem lida melhor com a evidência disponível nos planos formativos, fenomenológicos e comportamentais. Além disso, sustentamos que as manifestações mais intelectuais do ato de confiar podem ser vistas como dependentes e derivadas de sua dimensão afetiva.
