Intellectual Humility: Theory
When confronted with tough issues, individuals frequently reject and marginalize opposition. Political and moral conflicts can be extremely contentious, and even dangerous at times. Religious conversation is tainted by hubris, dogma, and ignorance, whether it's Christian fanaticism, Islamic extremism, or militant atheism. More people who are sensitive to both pro and con arguments for their beliefs, and who are prepared to accept the possibility that their political, religious, and moral beliefs are incorrect, are needed in the world. More intellectual humility is needed in the world.
But what exactly is intellectual humility? What makes individuals so drawn to intellectual arrogance? Answers are now being proposed by psychologists, philosophers, theologians, and educationalists.
