Pasión por la ignorancia

Ignorance, whether passive or active, conscious or unconscious, has always been a part of the human condition. What has changed today is that we often feel overwhelmed by the constant flood of information and misinformation that surrounds us. However, Salecl argues that ignorance is a complex phenomenon that can sometimes benefit individuals and society as a whole. Drawing inspiration from philosophy, social and psychoanalytic theory, popular culture and his own experience, in Passion for Ignorance Salecl explores how the positive side of ignorance develops and manifests itself in multiple aspects of current life to also claim the role of knowledge.
