Title

Trust, expertise, and the philosophy of science. 

Summary

This paper discusses the central role of trust in the philosophy of science and its importance in interactions between science and society. It advocates for philosophers of science to develop normative theories of trust that can bridge gaps between scientific experts and ordinary citizens. The paper outlines three key projects: creating a theory of expertise and experience, understanding the causes of distrust in science, and analyzing successful trust relationships between scientists and non-scientists to improve science-society interactions.
