Contents:

Will to meaning, narrative construction, and world views -- Narrative construction and leaps of faith -- Epistemology touchstone of humility -- Coherence touchstone of humility -- Pragmatic touchstone of humility.

Summary: Triumphalists see their world view as the ultimate repository of spiritual truth: all other world views are inferior and their adherents need to be converted forcefully, or silenced, or destroyed to prevent their cancerous views from metastasizing. Triumphalism has infected too many of the adherents in the Abrahamic religious traditions, and must be neutralized by the growth of epistemic humility using a tactic like the five step strategy suggested in this book.
