Question

Robert Solomon and Fernando Flores argue that trust is a choice to believe the trusted person is telling the truth, without independent verification. If bluffing is an accepted rule of business negotiation, can the Solomon and Flores form of trust exist in business?
Does your answer (whatever it is) imply anything about the morality of bluffing?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, the Solomon and Flores form of trust exist in business if bluffing is an accepted rule of business negotiation because bluffing is acceptable in the business. If bluffing is an accepted rule of business negotiation then there is no trust formed between Solomon and Flores and the reason for this is that bluffing is a bad act which makes relationship worse between the partners but in this case trust exist in business due to the rule of bluffing.
