RE: The Difference Between Ignorance and Nescience

in #philosophy7 years ago (edited)

I'm seeing a missing category... Possessing the ability to integrate the information, but not having been exposed, unless it's nescient Avail. 2. What you're saying about that category is that the information hasn't been uncovered (I assume at all) so it can't be known. What if the information has been uncovered but just not discovered by the individual in question?

By the way, thanks again... what a wonderful feeling to be able to help people out that much!!!

Well, technically it's ignorance because the info is available. I'm ignorant of many things that are available for me to know. I don't have a problem recognizing I don't know everything and that I'm ignorant of much that I don't concern myself with. I'm ignorant of auto-mechanics, but not so prideful as to not be able to admit my ignorance somewhere ;)

I mistook ignorance for being willing... so there's unwilling ignorance as well. Got it!

Most ignorance is unwilling. There are an infinite amount of topics that you will never be able to educate yourself on.

But I'm still trying!
