Abstract

Careers Collaboration Interdisciplinary aspects Medical research Philosophers Philosophy Psychologists
[...]while I wrote my doctoral thesis on virtue epistemology, I'd never written a single blasted word on intellectual humility per se (it turns out that I was far from alone on this, and that was part of the problem!) Add to this the cognitive dissonance I felt while looking at an advertisement for a philosophy postdoc in a graduate school of psychology at a seminary, and you can understand why I nearly moved on to the next job application. First of all, the principle investigator of the project, Justin Barrett, had a long history of playing nice with philosophers such that he could often serve as a "translator" in team discussions. [...]the project team had sufficient time to get to know one another and collaborate before any major project outputs needed to be produced.
