课程概述

We live in a polarised world where all too often people talk past each other. But do you know when to believe what others say? For example, how quick should we be to accept something that someone else tells us is true, and what should we be looking out for when assessing a person's trustworthiness? Meanwhile, what should we do when we encounter disagreements with people who seem to be our equals? How and when should we adjust our beliefs, and how does the appropriate response vary depending on the evidence? These challenges may be especially important in the arena of religious disagreements. How should we weigh the evidence for and against various theistic and atheistic stances? Experts in psychology, philosophy, theology and education are conducting exciting new research on these questions, and the results have important, real-world applications. Faced with difficult questions people often tend to dismiss and marginalize dissent. Political and moral disagreements can be incredibly polarizing, and sometimes even dangerous. And whether it’s Christian fundamentalism, Islamic extremism, or militant atheism, religious dialogue remains tinted by arrogance, dogma, and ignorance. The world needs more people who are sensitive to reasons both for and against their beliefs, and are willing to consider the possibility that their political, religious and moral beliefs might be mistaken. The world needs more intellectual humility. In this course. we will examine the following major questions about applied issues surrounding intellectual humility: • Should you believe what people say? • How should we handle disagreement? • What is the role of evidence in resolving religious disagreements? All lectures are delivered by leading specialists, and the course is organised around a number of interesting readings and practical assignments which will help you address issues related to humility in your daily life. This course can be taken as a part of a series which explores the theory, the science and the applied issues surrounding intellectual humility. Before, we considered how to define and measure intellectual humility, what intellectual virtue is, whether we are born or can become humble, and what cognition and emotions can tell us about intellectual humility.

As a person who indulgences in a lot of conversations, I have always wondered if I am myself a victim of implicit and confirmation biases. This course helps us understand the underlying concepts of disagreements, intellectual arrogance and humility, nature of religious disagreements, testimonies and weighing of evidence. Apart from gaining knowledge on these topics, it helps you become a more receptive conversationalist and a rational and humble debater. Apart from recognizing the signs around you, it helps you introspect and understand your shortcomings and handle disagreements with fair and unbiased headspace.

As the third installment of intellectual humility, I was slightly disappointed on the content of the course. However, I still enjoyed it and would recommend it as part of your personal and professional growth.

Following theory and science, this course sheds light on the practical aspects of the intellectual humility, which is a relatively new area. Excellent initiative.

Very interesting and rigorous course, however it ultimately reveals its Templeton agenda by being too focused on IH as it relates to religious beliefs.

Well structured. A bit of a slow start, but the third week is great and made up for it!

I was probably expecting something more related to Emotional Intelligence techniques and psychology, so I cannot rate it 5 stars. the title intrigued me.
