The Calcutta Review February 1951

1951

As I now reflect on the context with the content apparently given in the immediate past in relation to the content I now fix on in the same context I become aware of the former context as contradicting the suggestion of the latter context. [...] So when I become aware that I was ignorant of the real fact in the context a moment ago the awarness of ignorance on my part then meant only the awareness of absence of the relevant knowledge i.e the absence of the knowledge expressed or expressible in the proposition There is nacre here." This awareness of ignorance however is no negation in any real sense. [...] So the core of an illusion is.the illusory presentation and the fact of ignorance on the part of the subject concerned is very important for our purpose as the ignoance is the offshoot of the illusory content. [...] Discussion apart the notion of knowledge means the way of our understanding the meaning of the world knowledge." Obviously in "I do not know" one may express one's awareness of absence of knowledge which is exactly the awareness of the present state of one's consciousness contradicting the suggestion of knowledge. [...] In short in the case of possibility of a knowledge we deal with the notion of knowledge with reference to the relevant thing: So it is idle to speak of the possibility of a knowledge being ilentkal with the knowledge itself.
