Trust, Truth & Political Conversations

In this article I discuss the relationship between trust and truth, their value, and our inherent need for them. In particular, I want to explore how these concepts function in political conversations between individuals and in conversations between political parties and the electorate. I will argue that these ideas both constitute and express how we conceive of one another. This suggests that they're deeply intertwined with our understanding of humanity. Politics is bound up with what we believe to be important for ourselves and others. It involves persuading others of particular views, and of the practical implications of those views. This is evident in the legacies of political thinkers, such as Adam Smith and Karl Marx. Surveying the landscape of politics offers the possibility of shedding light on how political arguments interact with the concept of humanity in ways that may not be immediately obvious.
