Intellectual Humility: Theory

In the face of difficult problems, people tend to ignore objections and ignore it. Political and moral differences are very polar and sometimes even dangerous. Whether it is Christian fundamentalism, Islamic extremism or extreme atheism, religious dialogue is still dyed by arrogance, doctrine and ignorance. The world is more sensitive to the reasons to support and oppose that belief and needs more people who think they are willing to consider the possibility of their political, religious and moral beliefs being misunderstood. The world needs more wisdom and humility. But anyway, what is the humility of wisdom? Why do people seem to be so absorbed in the arrogance of intellectuals? Psychologists, philosophers, theologians, and educators now came up with several answers. In this course, we define general humility and wisdom and ask how to know who is modest.

Dr Church, Visiting Assistant Professor at Hillsdale University and Chief Researcher at the University of Edinburgh Intellectual Property Program, says: "Absolutely, the humility of wisdom is the virtue of accurately tracking the quality of knowledge and the evidence of your beliefs." It is humble. For the church, this means that modesty of knowledge is not necessarily compatible with serious intellectual beliefs. "If our beliefs do not interfere with evidence and reason, we will be arrogantly intelligent if we do not amend or abandon this belief based on opposing new evidence." If we know that we are right about something, the willingness to modify or abandon our beliefs may seem to be intellectually meaningful or deceivable. "

Modesty relates to integrity, honesty, and selfless mind, but the intellectuals are open-minded and open minded, commensurate with their beliefs and evidence. Though intellectually discreet people strongly believe in a topic, they are aware of their limits and hope that they are wrong by others. Philosophers and psychologists who have been studying intellectual humility - for example director of prosperity center for human development, Justin Barrett - says it is a very valuable feature in the workplace and life. Barrett is part of a project focusing on the meaning of knowledge and how to encourage it. Dr. Ian Church and Dr. Peter Samuelson are chief researchers

The humility of intellectuals' ethical knowledge includes recognition of the limitations of your knowledge and distorted effects of your view. It results in not claiming to be more realistic than you really know. The humility of wisdom indicates the lack of self-declared intellectuals. Intellectual courage represents your motivation to change your faith. It involves recognizing negative prejudices and opinions. It allows you to accept ideas and concepts that are fairly judged in advance. It involves asking social norms to develop their own views
