I will underline the real complexity of trust (not for mere theoretical purposes but for advanced applications), and I will criticize some of those reductionist view of Trust. I will illustrate: how trust can be a disposition, but also is an ‘evaluation’, and also a ‘prediction’ or better an ‘expectation’; and how it is a ‘decision’ and an ‘action’, and ‘counting on’ (relying) and ‘depending on’ somebody; and which is the link with uncertainty and risk taking (fear and hope); how it creates social relationships; how it is a dynamic phenomenon with loop-effects; how it derives from several sources.
