Abstract:

The aim of the presented paper is to analize the terminology describing humility and pride that appears in the writings of the Greek Fathers of the Church of the 4th century (Basil the Great, Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa, John Chrysostom). To describe a humility they used the traditional terms that derived from ancient philosophy and were also well known in the Septuagint and in the New Testament writings; and used in the letters by Saint Paul and Saint Peter. The ancient Greek thought didn’t know a virtue of humility, so the philosophers didn’t use the last of these terms. However,

Abstract:

Although there is a growing interest toward the topic of leader humility, extant research has largely failed to consider the underlying mechanisms through which leader humility influences team outcomes. In this research, we integrate the emerging literature of leader humility and social information processing theory to theorize how leader humility facilitates the development of collective team psychological capital, leading to higher team task allocation effectiveness and team performance. While Owens and Hekman (2016) suggest that leader humility has homogeneous effects on followers, we propo

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between leader humility and employee well-being. Based on social information processing (SIP) theory and previous literature concerning leader humility, this paper identifies employee humility as the mediator and suggests that perceived leader effectiveness moderates these relationships. Design/methodology/approach This study employed a survey involving 228 employees to test the hypothesized moderated-mediation model. Findings Leader humility is positively related to employee well-being. Employee humility mediates leader humility

Abstract:

The concept of humility is now prominent in social work. It is featured especially in discussions of cultural humility in social work practice. A key gap in social work’s literature and educational frameworks is the concept of ethical humility, which has been addressed much more ambitiously by a number of allied professions. The concept of ethical humility, also known as moral humility, implies a quality where practitioners are less than absolutely certain about their moral instincts and judgments. This article explores the nature of ethical humility and its relevance to social work practice.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the ministerial call in three novels by William Golding, specifically The Spire, Darkness Visible, and Rites of Passage. The central character of each novel, a Christian minister, has a vision, or series of visions, which dominates his life. The call and vision(s) of Golding's ministers are examined in light of Jacques Ellul's The Humiliation of the Word, a work examining the differences between the word and the image. The ministerial call, in this thesis, is linked to Ellul's ideas about the word; the vision, in this thesis, is linked to Ellul's ideas of the image. As a r

Abstract:

This work asks how and for whom humiliation can be therapeutic. J. M. Coetzee, in his works Waiting for the Barbarians, Life & Times of Michael K and Disgrace, does not simply critique the mentality of Empire, an “Enlightenment” or colonialist mode of knowing that knows no bounds to reason, but offers an alternative through the Magistrate, Michael K and David Lurie, all of whom are brutally shamed and “abjected”. Each character, I propose, experiences a Lacanian “therapy of humiliation” resulting in a subversion of their egos, which they come to understand as antagonistic, a site of misrecogni

Abstract:

AbstractIn this chapter, we review the literature on religion/spirituality (R/S) and the twin virtues of humility and gratitude. We focused on articles that were published in peer-reviewed journals and included both a measure of religion/spirituality and humility or gratitude. We focus our review by exploring two questions: (1) how is R/S associated with humility and gratitude, and (2) how might humility and gratitude work in tandem (consistent with the social oil hypothesis of humility)? We found cross-sectional evidence linking R/S and humility and gratitude. Additional work is needed to test the recent theory on how humility and gratitude may work together to promote and protect strong relationships, especially at the collective level. We suggest ways to catalyze research in this area, including the potential for future work aligning humility and gratitude. We also identify implications for practice both in clinical settings and religious communities.

Abstract:

Not since the advent of simultaneous interpreting last century has interpreting faced such seismic technological shifts. From the growth of remote interpreting to the seemingly miraculous development of automated speech translation, high-quality human interpreters seem to be threatened with being further separated from the people they serve or even being rendered entirely redundant. Yet those are not the only futures on offer and, with the US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicting a 20% growth in demand for human interpreting between 2019 and 2029, the outlook for human interpreters is much rosier than expected. This chapter therefore combines recent market research on the need for interpreters and the economic factors that determine their availability with a more realistic appraisal of the capabilities of automated speech translation and new understandings of how organisations can get the best results from interpreting. Taken together, these three strands of research point to a real possibility for synergy between human interpreting and automated speech translation, as well as a more coherent integration of technological and human expertise throughout the process of commissioning, delivering, and evaluating excellent interpreting that enables truly equitable language access. Yet the road to such synergy will involve humility and sacrifice on all sides. It will involve a focus on real client needs over pyrrhic public relations triumphs, a commitment to partnership over replacement and an unprecedented openness with data. The alternative to such co-operation is frustration on all sides, not least from those who rely on interpreting to achieve their goals.

Abstract:

This chapter looks at humility as an approach to one’s self, others, and life in general that is most conducive to enduring happiness. After reviewing the existing empirical literature on how humility is associated with various well-being outcomes, the chapter provides a theoretical framework explaining this positive association. Specifically, it elaborates how humility enables people to relate to themselves, to reality, and to others in optimal ways, which is where enduring happiness lies. It is emphasized that a secure, non-fragile ego is a main ingredient of humility and underlies many of its happiness-related benefits. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of how humility can be cultivated.

Abstract:

This chapter critically examines psychological conceptualizations of humility and offers a novel integrative perspective that identifies the central psychological feature of humility. The gist of this approach is that, at its core, humility involves the recognition that, however great one’s personal accomplishments or positive characteristics may be, one is not fundamentally a more special person because of them and, thus, should not be viewed or treated as special outside the domain of one’s accomplishments or characteristics (and sometimes even within it). Our review of the literature demonstrates that research findings are largely consistent with the notion that the features of both state and trait humility are either antecedents of the recognition that one’s accomplishments and positive characteristics do not entitle one to be treated as a special person or are psychological or behavioral manifestations of that recognition.

Abstract:

Throughout history, humility has been marked with ambivalence, steadily oscillating between the statuses of virtue and vice. Recent scholarship in positive psychology, however, has begun to unveil the nuances of humility and its associations with human health and happiness. In particular, this limited but promising set of literature has persuasively shown that cultural, epistemic, and existential humility reliably corresponds with positive mental health outcomes in a variety of therapeutic contexts. Moreover, this same set of research strongly indicates that humility is positively associated with an array of traits and behaviors that promote overall well-being. Thus humility appears to be a key virtue for fostering human flourishing within mental health settings and beyond. Lastly, religious and spiritual traditions, many of which have dense histories of reflection on humility, may be particularly well equipped with the resources needed to cultivate humility and to enrich an understanding of this old and intricate virtue.

Abstract:

Abstract The philosophical literature on ethical concepts is so old and so extensive that its size has to be counted not in pages but in yardage of bookshelves, and in age, not in decades or in centuries but in millennia. For a linguist, this literature constitutes an inexhaustible source of delight, enlightenment, inspiration—and frustration. The frustration is due to the profound ethnocentrism of much of this literature. In particular, what most Anglo-Saxon ethical works tend to do is to discuss ethical concepts embodied in certain English words as if they were language-independent moral ideas, culture-free and fully transferrable from one language to another. For example, concepts such as ‘justice’, ‘honesty’, ‘hypocrisy’, or ‘greed’ are discussed as if they stood for some universally valid categories, rooted in human nature and human reason rather than in the English language and in the broad cultural tradition which has given the English lexicon its present shape.
