Mark Lilla identifies five modes of seeking ignorance: evading uncomfortable knowledge; placing some kinds of knowledge under taboo; emptying ourselves of knowledge so that we can be inspired; seeking childlike innocence; and nostalgically imagining and trying to recover a lost paradise. These overlap and intertwine, but are, as he presents them, distinct enough that each has its own characteristic flavor.
Lilla’s modes of seeking ignorance are all informed by the same stance toward the world. It is one in which looking at the world and trying to understand it are so uncomfortable and distressing that the best—perhaps the only—thing to do is turn one’s back and close one’s eyes, and then live in some kind of fantasy rather than in the world as given.
