Commitment in Cases of Trust and Distrust

There is a well‐developed literature on trust.[Note 1. See, for instance, Baier (), Faulkner (), Hardin (), ...] Distrust, on the other hand, has gathered far less attention in the philosophical literature (though there is a burgeoning business literature on the topic[Note 2. E.g. Cho (), Kramer (), Lewicki et al. (), ...]). A recent exception to that trend in the philosophical literature is Hawley (2014, 2015) who develops a unified account of both trust and distrust. My aim in this paper is to present arguments against her account of trust and distrust, though then to also suggest a patch.
