| Summary: | We present a view of intellectual humility as it may be experienced and expressed by a theist. From a religious cultural perspective and drawing primarily on Augustine, we argue that intellectual humility for the theist is based on glad intellectual dependence on God. It is evidenced in five markers of IH: (a) proper unconcern about one's intellectual status and entitlements; (b) proper concern about one's intellectual failures and limitations; (c) proper posture of intellectual submission to divine teaching; (d) order epistemic attitudes that properly reflect one's justification for one's views, including those views held on the basis of religious testimony, church authority, interpretations of scripture, and the like; and (e) proper view of the divine orientation of inquiry. Implications of this perspective for the study of intellectual humility are provided. |
