«Building Trust» is the essay by Robert C. Solomon and Fernando Flores, published by Oxford University Press, U.S.A. in paperback (192 pages, in English).
Solomon and Flores analyze trust as an emotional skill built on promises, commitments and integrity, not as a static gift. They examine how distrust damages businesses, politics and personal relationships, and propose moving from naive, fragile trust to an authentic, reflective and renewable one.
The subtitle of the work is In Business, Politics, Relationships, and Life. Includes bibliography and index.
For readers interested in practical philosophy, the business world and the psychology of human relationships.
Robert Charles Solomon was a philosopher and business ethicist, notable author, and Distinguished Teaching Professor of Business and Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin, where he held a named chair and taught for more than 30 years, authoring The Passions: Emotions and the Meaning of Life (1976) and more than 45 other books and editions. Critical of the narrow focus of Anglo-American analytic philosophy, which he thought denied human nature and abdicated the important questions of life, he instead wrote analytically in response to the continental discourses of phenomenology and existentialism, on sex and love, on business ethics, and on other topics to which he brought an Aristotelian perspective on virtue ethics. He also wrote A Short History of Philosophy and others with his wife, Kathleen Higgins.
