This work explores the dialectics of epistemic modesty and grandiosity in the context of academic subjectivity within the human sciences. It engages with historical philosophical frameworks to address how subjective limitations influence knowledge production and public discourse. The author advocates for a new psychology of science that acknowledges the evolution of subjectivity and aims for practical relevance, urging researchers to reflect on their epistemic practices and the societal implications of their claims.
