Katherine Hawley is Professor of Philosophy at the University of St Andrews, where she formerly served as Head of School of Philosophical, Anthropological, and Film Studies, and as editor of The Philosophical Quarterly. Her research spans metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics, and she has written articles on identity, indeterminacy, social groups, and mereology. She is the author of How Things Persist (Oxford 2001) and Trust: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford 2012), and also the co-editor of Philosophy of Science Today (Oxford 2012).

• 1: Trust and Distrust 2: Promising 3: Telling 4: Trustworthiness 5: Obstacles to Trustworthiness 6: Consequences

Hawley's work is enjoyable to read, rich as it is with vivid examples and careful explication of technical philosophical terms from the various subdisciplines from which she draws ideas. The book reads as an introduction to several facets of the scholarly literature on trust even while waging a novel argument about what trust and trustworthiness consist in. Having used thebook in an upper division undergraduate course in 2020, I can recommend it for teaching, and there is no doubt that the conception of trust on offer here is one that must be cited in the trust literature going forward.
