Socratic Ignorance
Socratic Ignorance is a philosophical stance characterized by the acknowledgment of one's own lack of knowledge, particularly in matters of ethical and epistemic certainty, distinguishing it from mere skepticism or agnosticism by its foundational role in the Socratic method of elenchus and pursuit of self-examination.
