Epistemic Humility and Medical Practice: Translating Epistemic Categories into Ethical Obligations

Journal of Medicine and Philosophy, 2012
Physicians and other medical practitioners make untold numbers of judgments about patient care on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. These judgments fall along a number of spectrums, from the mundane to the tragic, from the obvious to the challenging.

Partisanship, humility, and epistemic polarisation

2020
Much of the literature from political psychology has focused on the negative traits that are positively associated with affective polarization—for example, animus, arrogance, distrust, hostility, and outrage.

Phenomenalism, Conceivability, and Epistemic Humility
