The study or doctrine of ignorance, particularly the philosophical study of what cannot be known or understood.
From Greek 'agnoia' (ignorance, not knowing) + '-logia' (study of). A rare philosophical term combining Greek roots to describe the systematic study of unknowability.
Agnoiology sounds like it's about being dumb, but it's actually a sophisticated philosophy—it asks 'what can we never know?' and became important in discussions about the limits of human knowledge!
