Intellectual Humility: Science

Intellectual Humility: Science
From the University of Edinburgh School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences.

It’s clear that the world needs more intellectual humility. But how do we develop this virtue? And why do so many people still end up so arrogant? Do our own biases hold us back from becoming as intellectually humble as we could be—and are there some biases that actually make us more likely to be humble? Which cognitive dispositions and personality traits give people an edge at being more intellectually humble - and are they stable from birth, learned habits, or something in between? And what can contemporary research on the emotions tell us about encouraging intellectual humility in ourselves and others? 

In this course, we will examine the following major questions about the science of intellectual humility. Taught by a team of leading specialists, the course is organised around a number of interesting readings and practical assignments which will help you address issues related to humility in your daily life.

These videos are free, open resources originally created for the short online course Intellectual Humility: Science. If the course is not currently running, you can still work through the media resources in your own time.
