The University of Wollongong Philosophy Research Seminar Held in the CAPSTRANS Seminar Room 1003 (Building 19, Arts) on Wednesdays at 17.30, all are welcome.
16th April 2008 Dr. Cynthia Townley (Macquarie) "What's Wrong with Betrayal?" Abstract Betrayal is commonly thought to be a violation of trust. Conversely, trust is often characterised as that kind of dependence in which we are vulnerable to betrayal, not just disappointment. I argue that taking betrayal to be a violation of trust is not sufficient to define betrayal, nor to distinguish trust from other kinds of commitment. An example taken from the film The Lives of Others shows that betrayal can take place where trust is absent. I also use the example to explore some recent claims about the nature of loyalty.
