Define intellectual humility.

  

Answers


Martin
Awareness of the limits of one's knowledge, including sensitivity to circumstances in which one’s egocentrism is likely to function self-deceptively

Sensitivity to bias and prejudice in, and limitations of one's viewpoint.

Intellectual humility is based on the recognition that no one should claim more than he or she actually knows.

It does not imply spinelessness or submissiveness; rather it implies the lack of intellectual pretentiousness, boastfulness, or conceit, combined with insight into the strengths or weaknesses of the logical foundations of one's beliefs
