Ignorance Studies: State of the Art. Smithson, M. In Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies. Routledge, 2 edition, 2022. Num Pages: 9
abstract   bibtex   
The 2015 publication of the first edition of this Handbook marked the culmination across several disciplines of a growing interest in ignorance as a topic for theorizing and empirical investigation. This coda to the second Handbook edition presents an assessment of the state of the art. Several indicators suggest that the Handbook has increased scholarly interest in ignorance. Indeed, since 2015, at least 17 books focusing on ignorance have appeared, expanding the study of ignorance in law, politics, science and technology, anthropology, philosophy, psychology, and economics. Accordingly, this chapter briefly surveys these recent books and their connections with the first and second Handbook editions. It concludes by focusing on two issues meriting further attention: Integrating accounts of ignorance across disciplines, and rebalancing negative and positive views of ignorance in disciplines where a negative view still is dominant.
