Understanding Ignorance
Author: Daniel R. Denicola
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 026253603X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
An exploration of what we can know about what we don't know: why ignorance is more than simply a lack of knowledge. Ignorance is trending. Politicians boast, “I'm not a scientist.” Angry citizens object to a proposed state motto because it is in Latin, and “This is America, not Mexico or Latin America.” Lack of experience, not expertise, becomes a credential. Fake news and repeated falsehoods are accepted and shape firm belief. Ignorance about American government and history is so alarming that the ideal of an informed citizenry now seems quaint. Conspiracy theories and false knowledge thrive. This may be the Information Age, but we do not seem to be well informed. In this book, philosopher Daniel DeNicola explores ignorance—its abundance, its endurance, and its consequences. DeNicola aims to understand ignorance, which seems at first paradoxical. How can the unknown become known—and still be unknown? But he argues that ignorance is more than a lack or a void, and that it has dynamic and complex interactions with knowledge. Taking a broadly philosophical approach, DeNicola examines many forms of ignorance, using the metaphors of ignorance as place, boundary, limit, and horizon. He treats willful ignorance and describes the culture in which ignorance becomes an ideological stance. He discusses the ethics of ignorance, including the right not to know, considers the supposed virtues of ignorance, and concludes that there are situations in which ignorance is morally good. Ignorance is neither pure nor simple. It is both an accusation and a defense (“You are ignorant!” “Yes, but I didn't know!”). Its practical effects range from the inconsequential to the momentous. It is a scourge, but, DeNicola argues daringly, it may also be a refuge, a value, even an accompaniment to virtue.

The Barber of Paris
Author: Paul de Kock
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
If you think the title is reminiscent of 'The Barber of Seville' you are not wrong. This story is set in 17th-century Paris, a very different place from the one that exists today. Then it was muddy, dirty and a den of iniquity on the streets. Not a safe place to be. The barber of the title is a man called Touquet, who despite his colorful past, has managed to become a home-owner. He has a fierce housekeeper and a female 16-year-old ward. Also on the scene is the avaricious 'villain' Monsieur Chevalier Chaudoreille. The stage is now set for a comedic romp of a story.
