新型冠状病毒大流行的公共卫生应对措施能否成功,取决于公众对专家的信任。尽管在这种危机的背景下对专家的态度受到了极大的关注,但公众信任的一个重要特征仍然没有得到充分的研究。当公共政策声称遵循科学时,公民不仅要相信专家告诉他们的话,还要遵循专家的建议。我认为这需要一种更苛刻的信任形式,我称之为推荐信任。我主张三个主张推荐信任:推荐信任是不同的认识和实践的信任;条件放置良好的推荐信任更苛刻的条件放置良好的认识的信任;和许多措施,已被提出来培养信任的专家不给公众很好的理由相信专家主导的政策。
The success of public health responses to the COVID-19 pandemic is sensitive to public trust in experts. Despite a great deal of attention to attitudes towards experts in the context of such crises, one significant feature of public trust remains underexamined. When public policy claims to follow the science, citizens are asked not just to believe what they are told by experts, but to follow expert recommendations. I argue that this requires a more demanding form of trust, which I call recommendation trust. I argue for three claims about recommendation trust: recommendation trust is different from both epistemic and practical trust; the conditions for well-placed recommendation trust are more demanding than the conditions for well-placed epistemic trust; and many measures that have been proposed to cultivate trust in experts do not give the public good reasons to trust in expert-led policy.
