Apophatic Ignorance and Its ApplicationS. Franke, W. In Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies. Routledge, 2 edition, 2022. Num Pages: 10
abstract   bibtex   
The intercultural and the interdisciplinary configure spaces of the “between” that most effectively challenge us to think beyond our accustomed models and frameworks. This, indeed, is already what it means to think apophatically, since such thinking cannot be confined by any specifiable method. The new turn in apophatic thinking that the author envisage, then, consists especially in emphasizing its productive applications. The most meaningful way to describe the purport of apophatic thinking is not by discourses about “Nothing” that are left floating in the air. Instead, the relevance of apophatic thought stands to be tested and verified through engaging in debate on the burning issues of the humanities—and of humanity—inside and outside of the academy. The fertility of apophatic thinking can be shown only by its fruits in application to the full diversity of topics that call for thought at the present, especially those that present and display thought’s ultimate difficulties and dead-ends in our contemporary world.
