“…Philosophers such as Machiavelli (1515Machiavelli ( /2003 and Hobbes (1660Hobbes ( /1997 have counseled people against trust. The assertion is that if recipients of trust are rational actors serving exclusively their own self-interest, they have every reason to exploit trust as soon as it is in their interest to do so.…”

Trust is essential for a secure and flourishing social life, but many economic and philosophical approaches argue that rational people should never extend it, in particular to strangers they will never encounter again. Emerging data on the trust game, a laboratory economic exchange, suggests that people trust strangers excessively (i.e., far more than their tolerance for risk and cynical views of their peers should allow). What produces this puzzling "excess" of trust? We argue that people trust due to a norm mandating that they show respect for the other person's character, presuming the other person has sufficient integrity and goodwill even if they do not believe it privately. Six studies provided converging evidence that decisions to trust follow the logic of norms. Trusting others is what people think they should do, and the emotions associated with fulfilling a social duty or responsibility (e.g., guilt, anxiety) account for at least a significant proportion of the excessive trust observed. Regarding the specific norm in play, trust rates collapse when respect for the other person's character is eliminated as an issue.

“…In Leviathan, Hobbes (2013), influenced by what he heard about the barbarism of the Middle Ages, suggests a typically modern solution of the non-human judge. Just as Galilei (2014), who exempts the conclusions and cultured instruments by their findings, Hobbes (2013) states that man is more selfish than previously thought and, thus, should be controlled by something.…”

Consumption as a Lifestyle: A Reflection on the Schopenhauer Perspective

Consuming extrapolates utilitarianism and hedonism; shopping as a purely rational activity does not complete the set of motivations that drive consumption. This theoretical essay investigates the context from the perspective of the contemporary consumer, mainly the philosophy of Schopenhauer and other authors who discuss the topic. To understand consumption, Will and Representation require one to first comprehend the theories of knowledge that elevate Science, its logic and true legitimacy and pathways that ultimately reveal the understanding of Marketing on consumer behavior. At the end of this essay, reflection leads to understanding that the metaphysics of beauty according to Schopenhauer (2012) presents pragmatic compounds still present that align marketing actions with the search for a better quality of life through aesthetics, excelling the dualistic logic of utilitarian or hedonic consumption and its recompense of mere immediate effect.
