Intellectual Trust in Oneself and Others

Intellectual Trust in Oneself and Others 

By: Richard Foley

To what extent should we intellectually trust ourselves? Questions of trust arise about our opinions, and they also arise about the faculties, practices, and methods that generate these opinions. Moreover, there is a relation between the two. If I have trust in the reliability of my faculties, practices, and methods, I will tend also to have trust in the overall accuracy of my opinions, and vice-versa. Trust in one tends to transfer to the other. Questions of intellectual trust also arise about other people’s opinions and faculties, and they can even arise about one’s own past or future opinions and faculties. Moreover, there is a relation between these questions and question of self-trust, for whenever one’s current opinions conflict with those of others, or with one’s own past or future opinions, there is an issue of whom to trust.
