Abstract
Humility is a brisk, erudite, and highly readable history of this virtue. The book follows a chronological arc: the first sentence is “Socrates was a humble man,” and the final sentence is “humility’s time has come again.” In between are chapters about texts and thinkers in the ancient world, the Bible, the medieval era, and the Enlightenment and its aftermath.
