This edited collection focuses on the moral and social dimensions
of ignorance-an undertheorized category in analytic philosophy.
Contributors address such issues as the relation between ignorance
and deception, ignorance as a moral excuse, ignorance as a legal
excuse, and the relation between ignorance and moral character. In
the moral realm, ignorance is sometimes considered as an excuse;
some specific kind of ignorance seems to be implied by a moral
character; and ignorance is closely related to moral risk.
Ignorance has certain social dimensions as well: it has been
claimed to be the engine of science; it seems to be entailed by
privacy and secrecy; and it is widely thought to constitute a legal
excuse in certain circumstances. Together, these contributions
provide a sustained inquiry into the nature of ignorance and the
pivotal role it plays in the moral and social domains.
