Abstract
Rik Peels's Ignorance: A Philosophical Study is excellent, bold in scope, and rich with distinctions. It is fastidiously researched and deserves praise for being both an important advance within the field and an accessible introduction to it. Although touching on several threads of Peels's treatment of ignorance, I will pay special attention how Peels's account interacts with the questions one is animated by. In particular, I argue that erotetic ignorance does not reduce to propositional ignorance and that one can be ignorant of insignificant truths.
