Riassunto	This book is an accessible discussion of humility for a general audience that aims to recover a lost virtue and to offer humility as a way forward for our divided society. It's a cultural history-the biography of an idea. Recovering humility might serve as an alternative to the diseases of hubris, arrogance, and narcissism that have infected us. The frightening alternative to a life of humility has been the death of civility. History demonstrates that when the virtue of humility is cast aside, hubris follows. This book explores treatments of humility in Greco-Roman history, philosophy, and literature; ancient and medieval Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scriptures and sermons; and Enlightenment and contemporary discussions on education in virtue and citizenship
