Ignorance, Knowledge, and Two Epistemic Intuitions. Le Morvan, P. Philosophia (United States), 2021.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
One of the most venerable and enduring intuitions in epistemology concerns the relationship between true belief and knowledge. Famously articulated by Socrates, it holds that true belief does not suffice for knowledge. I discuss a matching intuition about ignorance according to which true belief does not suffice for the absence of ignorance. I argue that the latter intuition undercuts the New View of Ignorance (according to which ignorance is the absence of true belief) and supports the Standard View of Ignorance (according to which ignorance is the absence of knowledge). © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. part of Springer Nature.
