“The roots (and routes) of the epistemology of ignorance”

“The roots (and routes) of the epistemology of ignorance”. Alcoff, L. M. Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy, 27(1):9 – 28, 2024. Publisher: Routledge Type: Article

Paper doi abstract bibtex

This paper elaborates on the idea of the epistemology of ignorance developed in Charles Mills’s work beginning in the 1980s and continuing throughout his writings. I I argue that his account developed initially from experiences of racism in north America as well as certain methods of organizing within parts of the Caribbean left. Essentially the epistemic practice of ignorance causes knowers to discredit or push away knowledge they in fact have. But this gives us cause for hope, for restoring existing knowledge through changing ideas about who knows. © 2024 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
