'If I Know I Can Be Wrong: The Hidden History of Epistemologies of Ignorance'
Current work in epistemologies of ignorance sometimes presents itself as if it were an enterprise without a history. This paper resituates it in the context of Heidegger’s account of truth in “The Origin of the Work of Art” and elsewhere, and demonstrates how this link makes important distinctions in the understanding of epistemologies of ignorance and answers at least two important criticisms of that enterprise.
