The classical Greek term pistis (trust) is presented as a relevant norm in the analysis of parliamentary debate. Through exploration of pistis apparent similarities to the term ethos have appeared.

Tentatively "truth", "faith" and "respect" are proposed as the elements equivalent to phronesis, areté and eunoia.

Is argument a game everyone should be able to play? If it is, current argument practices do not yet level the playing field enough for a fair game.

We need better ways to build trust, to create safety, and adapt goals in order to bring everyone into the game.

What is trust? How does it function as a primary virtue for persuasive arguments? How does its presumption contribute to the effectiveness of an argument’s persuasiveness? This presentation will explore these questions and the controversy among scholars regarding how trust is generated and under what conditions it is lost. We will also discuss whether inauthentic trustworthiness is a manipulation used for gaining a fallacious advantage in argumentation.
