This book analyzes ignorance as a socially constructed product (agnotology) and the limits of sociology to know the structure and functioning of society. Ignorance is deeply subjective and socially complex. This leads Smithson, M. J. to the referential definition of agnotology, on which the author builds his proposal for a methodology of empirical study of the objects and subjects of ignorance (the ignorance triangle: ignorant, observer and producer).
