Here, especially, we can see how misguided it would be to hope to replace trust as policy (the properly sceptical choice of human political expedients) with trust as passion (in its characteristic modern form, an unreflective confidence in the efficacy and decency of existing institutions: state, party, government, union, or firm).

DEFINE: Distinguishes trust-as-policy (skeptical, deliberate) from trust-as-passion (unreflective confidence in institutions like state, party, government, union, firm).
