Among the philosophers and academic scholars studying human behaviour, intellectual humility is one of the favourite topics of deliberation and emphasis for contemporary society.
Once its worth is recognized and accepted as a way of life, intellectual humility leads to a better understanding of the self and society around us.
Intellectual humility offers multiple traits, making a person a good thinker and wiser.
It develops empathy, a willingness to revise views in light of solid evidence, a compromising nature, and an open mind to receive new information and knowledge and discard the outdated, wrong and biased ones. Intellectual humility dumps ego, and that helps to review the mindset views.
Moreover, in its practice, we see the world as it is rather than as we wish it to be.
Today’s world needs more intellectual humility, especially by those who run its affairs as leaders, for better understanding and eventual peace on our planet.
