The Long History of Ignorance - from Confucius to Q-Anon: The Limits of Knowledge

Series 1, episode 2

Ignorance is not simply the negative of knowledge, but a positive force with its own momentum that gives meaning to people's lives. Former MP Rory Stewart wants to make a radical case for embracing ignorance. He wants to encourage a way of knowing in which knowledge and ignorance exist in a relationship with each other. With a cast of global thinkers, drawing on Western and Eastern ideas from the ancient world to the present day, Rory explores how a greater awareness and appreciation of ignorance can help people become more humble, empathetic and wise
