Abstract (eng)
The thesis analyses trust from several points of sciences: theology, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and pedagogics. The emphasis is on the rele-vance of theoretical thoughts to the recent economical and financial crisis. Trust as a social resource seems to be one of the „cornerstones“ in managing the crisis. Men and states are threatened by too much and too less confidence respectively. Theo-logy and above all ethics should contribute to a stable and value-oriented economy and financial system.
