Ignorance, Irony and Knowledge in Plato shows that Socratic ignorance—knowing that you don’t know—is central to Plato’s philosophy, especially in his use of dialogue and his theory of knowledge. Plato’s philosophical career can be understood as a progressive deepening of his appreciation of Socratic ignorance and its rich implications.
