On Trust and Trustworthiness On Trust and Trustworthiness Sophie Vivian A dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 6 December 2019 School of Humanities and Languages The University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia Abstract There has been a long-standing tendency in both the philosophical and non- philosophical literature in the English-speaking world to view trust and trustworthiness primarily as three-place relations. Trust is: A trusts B to do X, and trustworthiness is: B doing X for A. This three-place schematic reflects English language use regarding the word “trust” as well as the widely-held beliefs that: 1) cooperation and knowledge acquisition are normally underpinned by trust and trustworthiness, 2) trust is a ubiquitous cognitive expectation classifiable as a distinct kind of reliance, and 3) trustworthiness is the ubiquitous fulfilment of that expectation classifiable as a distinct kind of reliability (often moralised-reliability). In this dissertation, it is argued that trust and trustworthiness are not three-place relations, and that thinking of them in this manner distorts the role they play in our lives. Instead, this dissertation proposes that trust and trustworthiness are each one-half of a two-place relation, and emphasises the special, private, complex, and interactive nature of this relation, rather than the behaviours (cooperation/reliance etc.) and expectations (belief/obligation etc.) often associated with it. The classification of trust and trustworthiness as being non-cognitive and non-moralised is essential, since a definitive feature of trust and trustworthiness is their remarkable capacity for non-conformity when it comes to the rules governing areas of our lives such as: social-communication, normative-behaviour, moral reasoning and moral action, truth, knowledge, rationality and agency. Acknowledging this anomalous rule-breaking facet of our humanity, which is similar to love, facilitates a better understanding of human behaviour and it allows us to divorce important questions about trust and trustworthiness from other distinct questions in epistemology and ethics. For David, for showing me trust and making me worthy. Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to acknowledge my supervisor Michaelis Michael, for providing sound advice and considered guidance throughout my candidature. I would also like to thank the supportive staff in the Philosophy department at UNSW Sydney. In particular, my co-supervisor Melissa Merritt for introducing me to Iris Murdoch, and Markos Valaris for his role in sparking my initial interest in philosophy. I am grateful for the instruction provided by Professor Tony Attwood from Griffith University Queensland, who generously took the time to share his expertise in Theory of Mind with me. Both Paul Faulkner of The University of Sheffield and Richard Holton of Cambridge University kindly spared their time to answer my emails, and for this, I thank them. I am indebted to Dr. Kirsty McKenzie, my non-philosopher mentor; our conversations over the years were invaluable. Lastly, a (quiet) shout-out to the autistic community. In particular, the autistic academics: Dr Damian Milton, Dr Melanie Yergeau, and Dr Elena Chandler, as well as the advocates: Shona Davis, Kieran Rose, and Sara Harvey, and authors: Yenn Perkis, Laura James, and Katherine May. Along with countless others, these individuals gently but determinedly give their time to share knowledge and resources with anyone willing to listen and learn. On a personal note, the irreplaceable individuals who supported all the other aspects of my life as I undertook this dissertation – my parents Lainie and Tony, my children Margaret and Hume, my dear friend Hamish, and my David – provided me with the love and trust, and so the expertise, that it really took to write this dissertation. Thank you all so very, very much. iv Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname/Family Name : Vivian Given Name/s : Sophie Abbreviation for degree as give in the University calendar : PhD (Philosophy) Faculty : Arts & Social Sciences School : Humanities & Languages Thesis Title : On Trust and Trustworthiness Abstract 350 words maximum: There has been a long-standing tendency in both the philosophical and nonphilosophical literature in the English-speaking world to view trust and trustworthiness primarily as three-place relations.

  • Cutting Patterns in DW Griffith's Biographs
    Cutting patterns in D.W. Griffith’s Biographs: An experimental statistical study Mike Baxter, 16 Lady Bay Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 5BJ, U.K. (e-mail: [email protected]) 1 Introduction A number of recent studies have examined statistical methods for investigating cutting patterns within films, for the purposes of comparing patterns across films and/or for summarising ‘average’ patterns in a body of films. The present paper investigates how different ideas that have been proposed might be combined to identify subsets of similarly constructed films (i.e. exhibiting comparable cutting structures) within a larger body. The ideas explored are illustrated using a sample of 62 D.W Griffith Biograph one-reelers from the years 1909–1913. Yuri Tsivian has suggested that ‘all films are different as far as their SL struc- tures; yet some are less different than others’. Barry Salt, with specific reference to the question of whether or not Griffith’s Biographs ‘have the same large scale variations in their shot lengths along the length of the film’ says the ‘answer to this is quite clearly, no’. This judgment is based on smooths of the data using seventh degree trendlines and the observation that these ‘are nearly all quite different one from another, and too varied to allow any grouping that could be matched against, say, genre’1. While the basis for Salt’s view is clear Tsivian’s apparently oppos- ing position that some films are ‘less different than others’ seems to me to be a reasonably incontestable sentiment. It depends on how much you are prepared to simplify structure by smoothing in order to effect comparisons.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

Burke This dissertation analyzes theological concepts in silent moving pictures made for commercial distribution from 1902 to 1927, and examines how directors and scenarists sorted through competing belief systems to select what they anticipated would be palatable theological references for their films. A fundamental assumption of this study is that, the artistic and aesthetic pretensions of many silent-era filmmakers notwithstanding, directors generally made decisions in the conception, production and marketing of films primarily to maximize profits in a ruthlessly competitive environment.

Some organizations find this an arduous process fraught with setbacks and sometimes even failure. Other organizations are able to implement the changes quickly and move the process along smoothly. A few years ago I began to wonder: Why were some companies successful in implementing change while others were not? Was it the leadership? If so, what was the key factor that allowed some leaders to get people to work together to bring about the desired changes, while others failed? Somewhere flying over Kansas on one of my many trips from the West Coast to the East, a lightbulb came on: this key factor was trust.

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Cardinal Scholar Isolation and Awakening in Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, Kate Chopin's The Awakening, and Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness: The Path to Individual Truth An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) By Matt Powers Thesis Advisor Donald Gilman Ball State University Muncie, IN March 22, 2002 Expected Graduation May,2002 speo!! ,h eSJ5 1-0 Powers, ~Lg:? oZ'f ~/.J)oJ Abstract . pe:,Cj This project examines characters in literature that undergo a journey which separates them from society. Such a journey allows them to explore their needs and desires in an existential quest that ultimately allows them to recognize themselves as individuals. This journey follows a pattern of fall, renunciation, and redemption as seen in the story of Job. The thesis begins with a brief account of the spiritual crisis experienced by the Old Testament character Job. This well known story serves as a paradigm for the events that all of the protagonists to be discussed later experience and endure in order to attain greater self-understanding. Three novels that exemplify this spiritual and intellectual journey are discussed in independent chapters. The first chapter deals with Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. This is followed by a study of Edna Pontellier in Kate Chopin's The Awakening. The third, and final, chapter explores Kurtz and Marlow in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Powers, 2 Aknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Donald Gilman, my thesis advisor, for all of your insight and support in the process of writing this paper.
