The What, Why and How of Intellectual Humility
Description
Today’s episode kicks off a month long look at intellectual humility - the simple concept that all knowledge is partial. Kelly talks with researcher and academic Dr. Daryl Van Tongeren about how we come to conclusions and what, if anything, can interrupt the creation of overconfident, under-researched, ironclad, and divisive by nature convictions. Daryl teaches at Hope College in Michigan and researches the social motivation for meaning and its relation to virtues and morals.
Funding for this episode was provided by UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center as part of its "Expanding Awareness of the Science of Intellectual Humility" initiative, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
