Abstract
Trust, in its vernacular meaning, is a blurred concept with many facets. This being the case, it should be all the more important for philosophical accounts to be selective about the aspects of trust that are to be studied and the function that it is supposed to perform. It should also be important to be domain-specific. After all, what applies to interactions between children or friends in non-professional everyday life need not apply to the professional interaction between scientists who collaborate to create scientific knowledge.
