课程简介

课程名称:智识谦逊:科学 概述:智识谦逊是一个越来越重要的品质,但如何培养这一美德呢?为什么许多人仍然表现得如此傲慢?我们的偏见是否妨碍了我们发展智识谦逊,而某些偏见是否反而使我们更容易保持谦逊?哪些认知倾向和个性特征能帮助人们更具智慧谦逊,这些特征是天生的、后天习得的,还是两者的结合?当代情感研究又能为我们在自己和他人身上鼓励智识谦逊提供哪些启示? 心理学、哲学和教育领域的专家正在对这些问题进行新颖的研究,结果有着重要的现实应用。在面临艰难问题时,人们往往会忽视和边缘化异议。政治和道德上的分歧可能导致极端对立,有时甚至非常危险。无论是基督教原教旨主义、伊斯兰极端主义还是激进无神论,宗教对话中常常充斥着傲慢、教条和无知。世界迫切需要更多人能够体察支持和反对自己信仰的理由,并愿意考虑自己在政治、宗教和道德信念上的可能错误。世界需要更多智识谦逊的人。 在本课程中,我们将探讨关于智识谦逊科学的几个主要问题: - 我们如何变得智识谦逊? - 人类认知可以告诉我们些什么关于智识谦逊的信息? - 傲慢是如何发展的,我们如何才能变得更开放? - 情感如何影响我们保持智识谦逊的能力? 所有讲座都由该领域的领先专家主讲,课程围绕一系列有趣的阅读和实践作业展开,帮助你在日常生活中处理与谦逊相关的问题。 该课程可作为系列课程的一部分,探索智识谦逊的理论、科学及应用问题。在之前关于智识谦逊理论的课程中,我们探讨了智识谦逊的定义、智识美德的性质及如何判断一个人是否具备智识谦逊。如果你感兴趣,可以完成全部三个课程,以获得更广泛的理解。可查看以下课程: - 智识谦逊:理论 - https://www.coursera.org/learn/intellectual-humility-theory - 智识谦逊:实践 - https://www.coursera.org/learn/intellectual-humility-practice 课程大纲: - 开始学习 - 谦逊、探索与儿童发展心理学:克里斯廷·勒加尔博士探讨谦逊与开放心态之间的关系,以及如何在儿童中培养这一品质。 - 什么使我们傲慢?偏见、启发式和认知心理学:弗兰克·凯尔教授讨论了导致傲慢和教条主义的各类偏见,并探讨如何在新闻及自己身上发现这些偏见。 - 政治、宗教和生活中的教条主义与开放心态:维克多·奥塔蒂教授认为谦逊与开放新思想和对异议的接受紧密相关,展示了个人特质与特定情境的关系。 - 谦逊、情感与人际关系:华苏·雷迪教授建议以情感的角度理解谦逊,强调谦逊是一种日常的、普遍的状态。 - 课程结束作业 该课程旨在通过科学的视角深入理解智识谦逊,为学员提供实用的应用和思考工具。

课程大纲

Name:Getting Started

Description:

Name:Humility, exploration, and the psychology of child development

Description:Dr Cristine Legare argues that humility is intimately connected to a state of openness to new ideas, and looks at how we can foster this in children. It turns out that what psychologists say makes kids better at exploring, explaining and being open, is not necessarily how they're taught at school!

Name:What makes us arrogant? Biases, heuristics and cognitive psychology

Description:Professor Frank Keil discusses a number of biases which we all have, and which can make us more arrogant and dogmatic by leading us to think that we know more than we actually do. Can you find examples of those biases in the news, and perhaps even in yourself?

Name:Dogmatism and open-mindedness in politics, religion, and life

Description:Professor Victor Ottati (like Dr. Legare before) thinks that humility has a lot to do with being open to new ideas and to things we disagree with. He shows how our ability to be open-minded is related to our personal traits and to specific situations. How open-minded do you think you are about politics, religion, and any other ideas you disagree with?

Name:Humility, emotions and human relations: a view from social psychology

Description:Professor Vasu Reddy suggests that in understanding humility, we should focus on emotions rather than on reason; on what humility feels like, not how we understand it. Humility, she says, is not a special, lofty virtue - it's a commonplace, everyday thing, and it's about being open to engagement with others. Could this help you bring more humility to your daily interactions?

It’s clear that the world needs more intellectual humility. But how do we develop this virtue? And why do so many people still end up so arrogant? Do our own biases hold us back from becoming as intellectually humble as we could be—and are there some biases that actually make us more likely to be humble? Which cognitive dispositions and personality traits give people an edge at being more intellectually humble - and are they stable from birth, learned habits, or something in between? And what can contemporary research on the emotions tell us about encouraging intellectual humility in ourselves and others? Experts in psychology, philosophy 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 the science of intellectual humility: • How do we become intellectually humble? • What can human cognition tell us about intellectual humility? • How does arrogance develop, and how can we become more open-minded? • How do emotions affect our ability to be intellectually humble? 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. In the previous course on the theory behind intellectual humility, we considered how to define intellectual humility, the nature of an intellectual virtue, and how we know who is intellectually humble. If you are interested, complete all three courses to gain a broader understanding of this fascinating topic.
