Abstract

The jurisprudential doctrine of the Spanish Supreme Court defines «deliberate ignorance» as the «principle that states that one who does not want to know what he can and must know, and yet benefits from the situation, is responsible for the criminal consequences of his act». Based on a review of the different types of ignorance considered negatively, the article proposes to use analogously the legal figure of the «deliberate ignorance» to explore some of the aspects that can help to think philosophically education today.
