Editing Hubris (section)

== Modern usage ==
In its modern usage, hubris denotes overconfident pride combined with arrogance.<ref name="Picone"/> Hubris is also referred to as "pride that blinds" because it often causes a committer of hubris to act in foolish ways that belie common sense.<ref>{{cite journal |title= The 1920 Farrow's Bank Failure: A Case of Managerial Hubris|journal= Journal of Management History|volume= 20|issue= 2|pages= 164–178|url= https://www.academia.edu/6081830|publisher= Durham University |access-date= October 1, 2014|last1= Hollow|first1= Matthew|year= 2014|doi= 10.1108/JMH-11-2012-0071}}</ref>
=== Arrogance ===

The [[Oxford English Dictionary]] defines "arrogance" in terms of "high or inflated opinion of one's own abilities, importance, etc., that gives rise to presumption or excessive self-confidence, or to a feeling or attitude of being superior to others [...]."<ref>{{oed | arrogance}}</ref> Adrian Davies sees arrogance as more generic and less severe than hubris.<ref>
