Project
description: Scientific endeavours fail or succeed for many
reasons. We hypothesise that Intellectual Humility (IH), or its
lack, plays a significant role, not just as a virtue of individual
scientists but as embodied in the norms, practices and institutions
that constitute science. We will look at successes and failures in
science through the lens of IH in order to chart
-
what constitutes
IH in scientific institutions
how IH affects
scientific success.
-
opens up
research on IH in science, where little attention is directed
focusses on IH
in the institutions that affect how science is conducted and what
it achieves
studies how IH
impacts effectiveness and progress in science and its ability to
serve society
explores the big
question: how to make science more successful and better able to
serve society.
