This work investigates the normative structure of trust by proposing a telic account that frames trust as a form of performance rather than merely a belief or affective state. J. Adam Carter, a philosopher specializing in epistemology, utilizes virtue-theoretic frameworks to argue that trust is subject to telic normativity, meaning it can be evaluated based on its success, competence, and aptitude. By contrasting this view with doxastic, affective, and conative accounts, the author establishes a rigorous model for understanding how individuals navigate the risks and vulnerabilities inherent in cooperative social interactions.
