A person who lacks humility is at risk of developing a deceptive sense of certitude and at worst denies basic human rights, respect, and dignity to anyone they identify as the enemy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHumility\u003c\/i\u003e, a cultural history and biography of the idea of humility, argues that the frightening alternative to humility has been the death of civility. In this book, Bellitto explores humility in Greco-Roman history, philosophy, and literature; in the ancient and medieval Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scriptures and sermons; in the Enlightenment; and in contemporary discussions of education in virtue and citizenship. The author encourages readers to recover and reclaim this lost virtue by developing a new perspective on humility as an alternative to the diseases of hubris, arrogance, and narcissism in society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a fresh perspective on this lost virtue for readers interested in finding a path to renewed civility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Georgetown University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49600961184088,"sku":"9781647123765","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781647123765.jpg?v=1782947728","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/humility-the-secret-history-of-a-lost-virtue","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
