Synopsis

This volume provides a multidisciplinary exploration of humility as a virtue through essays spanning religious and secular traditions. Essays examine the role of humility in one's alignment with a higher spiritual power, as well as its place in secular philosophy, including the epistemic value of humility in the development of knowledge. Finally, the volume explores humility's application within the professional fields of politics, business management, and competitive activities.
