About this listen
This is the purpose of these philosophical notes, in which the author explores the field of what could be a philosophy of ignorance and the study of the ignorance of philosophy; that is, where he simultaneously elaborates the bases of an agnoiology of philosophy or consciousness, which he develops in the first part, and of an agnoiology of being as an object of philosophical reflection, which he deals with in the second part.
For this purpose, the author has used three complementary histories of philosophy, written by a believer, the Jesuit F. Copleston; an agnostic, Bertrand Russell; and a German professional philosopher, J. Hirschberger.
This book presents the most important "theories" or "reflections", from the Greeks to the present day, on the great questions of philosophy, confirming not only "our persistent ignorance", resulting from the constant and exhausting effort of the human mind to find answers to questions that do not have them (because they are certainly badly posed), but also the eagerness of Being to always try out new forms, to create the unknown. The result of these two tendencies is, on the part of Being (the object, nature), the biodiversity of our planet; and on our part (the subject, consciousness), the impressive development of human science and technology.
This first volume of philosophical theories of ignorance ("Consciousness and Ignorance"), to be followed by a second ("Being and Ignorance"), is a continuation of other works by the author, such as "The Ultimate Piece of the Universe," on the metaphysical limits of physics; "The Unthinkable Universe," on ignorance in Kant, Schopenhauer, Ortega, and Popper; and the texts in which he deals with "ignorance" as a social phenomenon, "Agnotology. Sociology of Ignorance", "Ignorance of Sociology", and "Ignorant Modernity", whose main ideas are now summarized, from a new perspective, in these "Notes on Philosophy", which can partly be regarded as a re-edition of these earlier publications, largely supplemented by a reflection on ignorance in the history of philosophy.
