We call the conscious choice not to seek or use knowledge (or information) deliberate ignorance. When is this a virtue, when is it a vice, and what can be learned from formally modeling the underlying motives? On which normative grounds can it be judged? Which institutional interventions can promote or prevent it? In this book, psychologists, economists, historians, computer scientists, sociologists, philosophers, and legal scholars explore the scope of deliberate ignorance.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ralph Hertwig is Director at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development in Berlin and Honorary Professor of Psychology at the Humboldt and Free Universities in Berlin.
