Epistemic humility
Epistemic humility is the intellectual virtue of recognising the limits of one's own knowledge and remaining open to correction, acknowledging what one does not know rather than overstating one's certainty.
Ming
Ming (illumination or clarity) in the Tao Te Ching refers not to the accumulation of information but to a direct, intuitive apprehension of reality that arises when one stops grasping at knowledge and allows the Tao to reveal itself through stillness, emptiness, and the abandonment of intellectual striving.
Scientific realism
Scientific realism is the view that science aims to produce true descriptions of the world, and that the entities posited by successful scientific theories (such as electrons and genes) genuinely exist.
