Resumo: The problem of social complexity was considered by Niklas Luhmann as the fundamental problem of sociology. His Theory of Social Systems aims in explaining in what way mankind deals with this problem that grows since the arrival of modernity. In this context, trust shows itself as an important mechanism for the reduction of complexity. In a world where choices multiply, it becomes necessary the use of a mechanism that help us to pre-select those choices and relieves us on the necessary amount of information to act. Trust allows us to act, even when we don’t have enough information about a situation or a person, based on what we already know, our own history, past that already is complexity reduced. This article intends to expose Luhmann’s study on this matter, relating it to Georg Simmel’s pioneer approach and later contributions.

Sua Teoria dos Sistemas Sociais visa, no fundo, explicar de que forma lida a humanidade com esse problema que cresce desde o advento da modernidade. Nesse contexto, a confiança se mostra como um importante mecanismo de redução de complexidade. Em um mundo onde se multiplicam as escolhas, faz-se necessário o uso de um mecanismo que nos ajude a pré-selecionar tais escolhas e alivie-nos da quantidade necessária de informações para que possamos agir. A confiança faz com que, mesmo sem estarmos plenamente informados sobre uma situação ou pessoa, possamos agir baseando-nos no que já conhecemos, em nossa própria história, no passado que já é complexidade reduzida. Este artigo pretende expor e problematizar o estudo de Luhmann sobre esse tema, relacionando-o com o pioneirismo de Georg Simmel e a algumas contribuições posteriores.Universidade de São Paulo.
