{"product_id":"perspectives-on-ignorance-from-moral-rik-peels-9781138945661","title":"Perspectives on Ignorance from Moral and Social Philosophy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis edited collection focuses on the moral and social dimensions of ignorance--an undertheorized category in analytic philosophy. Contributors address such issues as the relation between ignorance and deception, ignorance as a moral excuse, ignorance as a legal excuse, and the relation between ignorance and moral character. In the \u003ci\u003emoral\u003c\/i\u003e realm, ignorance is sometimes considered as an excuse; some specific kind of ignorance seems to be implied by a moral character; and ignorance is closely related to moral risk. Ignorance has certain \u003ci\u003esocial\u003c\/i\u003e dimensions as well: it has been claimed to be the engine of science; it seems to be entailed by privacy and secrecy; and it is widely thought to constitute a legal excuse in certain circumstances. Together, these contributions provide a sustained inquiry into the nature of ignorance and the pivotal role it plays in the moral and social domains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rik Peels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138945668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138945661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Rik Peels","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087795433727,"sku":"9781138945661","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b8ed796-c2b2-4dfd-994e-feef52aa6b84.jpg?v=1769101423","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perspectives-on-ignorance-from-moral-rik-peels-9781138945661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
