In my talk I distinguish three approaches to ignorance, more particularly, approaches to dealing with ignorance: virtue epistemologist, consequentialist and deontological approaches. I spell out a virtue epistemologist approach following Socrates, a consequentialist approach following William James and a deontological approach following Immanuel Kant. On that basis I discuss these approaches and argue that a maxim-based deontological approach is most promising.
