DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF IGNORANCE AND ITS SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE

Abstract

The concept of ignorance, a multidimensional and culturally bound notion, holds significant importance in the linguistic landscape across different languages and cultures. This paper explores the conceptosphere of ignorance, analyzing its linguistic representations, cultural interpretations, and the variations it assumes in different contexts. By drawing upon linguistic, philosophical, and sociocultural frameworks, we examine how ignorance manifests across global languages and what this reveals about human cognition and communication. The study contributes to understanding the intricate web of meaning that shapes the conceptosphere of ignorance, revealing how this concept plays a pivotal role in social interaction, education, and knowledge dissemination.
