Trust and the Second Person

"Moral obligation, Stephen Darwall argues, is irreducibly second-personal. So too, Benjamin McMyler argues, is the reason for belief supplied by testimony and which supports trust. In this paper I follow Darwall in arguing that the testimony is not second personal ‘all the way down’. However, I go on to argue, this shows that trust is not fully second-personal, which in turn shows that moral obligation is equally not second personal ‘all the way down’."
