Ignorance: A History of the Phenomenon from a Global Perspective

The period preceding the emergence of Islam was described as the "Age of Ignorance" (Jahiliyya), and the Middle Ages were called the "Dark Ages." In the Age of Enlightenment, ignorance was viewed as the pillar upon which tyrannical regimes, fanaticism, and superstitions rested, which the wise hoped to eliminate with the advent of an era dominated by reason and knowledge. The book presents a history of the phenomenon of ignorance that has accompanied humanity in various fields, reviewing numerous historical examples that shed light on different types of ignorance, leading to a deep investigation of human knowledge throughout the ages and an understanding of its limits.
