Epistemology of Ignorance

Epistemology of Ignorance examines how certain groups or individuals are systematically kept in the dark about knowledge and information. It highlights how social power dynamics can shape what is known, who knows it, and who gets to speak. This concept is often linked to epistemic injustice, where marginalized people are denied their credibility or are ignored, leading to their experiences and insights being undervalued. Understanding this helps us recognize the barriers to knowledge and the importance of inclusivity in conversations about truth and understanding in society.
