Intellectual Humility and Social Epistemology - John Greco

Contemporary epistemology has moved away from the epistemic individualism of internalism and evidentialism, in favor of externalism, virtue epistemology, and social epistemology. This paper explores how these various movements in epistemology are related to the notion of intellectual humility. The central idea is that, whereas intellectual pride is characterized by ideals and illusions of self-sufficiency, intellectual humility is characterized by a realistic estimation of one’s own abilities and an appreciation of one’s epistemic dependence on others. John Greco holds the Leonard and Elizabeth Eslick Chair in Philosophy at Saint Louis University, and was co-PI, with Eleonore Stump, of the Philosophy and Theology of Intellectual Humility Project.
