The Scope of Humility - Jason Baehr

Many philosophers, theologians, and psychologists have embraced the idea that humility is comprised largely of a certain self-orientation. Some have held that to be humble is to possess a certain orientation toward one’s limitations and weaknesses, e.g., to be aware of and willing to “own” one’s limitations and weaknesses. Others have viewed the scope of humility in broader terms, e.g., as including a “right view” of one’s weaknesses and strengths. In this paper, I argue for the narrower conception of the scope of humility. The discussion sheds light on the fundamental structure and demands of humility. It also has certain practical and quasi-practical implications, which I discuss toward the end of the paper.
