DeNicola aims to understand ignorance, which seems at first paradoxical. But he argues that ignorance is more than a lack or a void, and that it has dynamic and complex interactions with knowledge. He discusses the ethics of ignorance, including the right not to know, considers the supposed virtues of ignorance, and concludes that there are situations in which ignorance is morally good.
