Irrational trust and its consequences

With the specific target being three-placed accounts of trust that are prominent within the philosophical literature. Towards the end of the paper, I pursue a particular challenge to the claim that we have irrational trust. I demonstrate that what the challenge shows is that either we can have irrational trust, or else that several views in the literature are false. I (tentatively) suggest that it's better to opt for the conclusion that we can have instances of irrational trust.
