My German is not the best, but it is sufficient to recognize "nichtwissen"
had the editor of this proposed book (who is German) used it. But he used
the English literal translation which set me off in odd directions.

I too am curious.

don`t worry. I never had better lessons to improve my english.

»Nescience«  is in german a quite familiar word »Nicht-Wissen«
and it´s quite another meaning than ignorance.


I´m curious about the article you are going to write.
