Renata Salecl - A Passion for Ignorance – What We Choose Not to Know and Why | Lecture, philosopher

Nederlands volgt Engels

Ignorance, conscious and unconscious, has always been a part of the human condition. Whether it involves love, illness, trauma, or death, human beings are well versed at ignoring or denying the truth. But why do we sometimes choose to remain ignorant? And is doing so always a bad thing, or can (willful) ignorance also be beneficial? Learn from Slovenian philosopher Renata Salecl about the many faces of ignorance.

Of het nou gaat om de liefde, ziekte, trauma’s of de dood, de mens is meer dan bekwaam in het negeren of ontkennen van de waarheid. Maar waarom kiezen we er soms voor om onszelf van de domme te houden? En is dit altijd onwenselijk, of zijn er ook gevallen waarin (moedwillige) onwetendheid ons juist ten goede komt? Luister naar de Sloveense filosoof Renata Salecl over de vele kanten van onwetendheid.
