 * For instance he cannot tell the time on the clock, since that depends on the relation of the direction of the hands to each other. This inability to differentiate the directions in relation to each other is a possible cause of optical agnosis. There is a direction element in the form of every object.

 * {1} By playing out the meaning of the proposition that the Real is the Real, all things become lucid and the why and wherefore of such baffling mysteries as agnosis (ajn̄āna), both universal and individual, sorrow (duhkha) etc., became self-explicated.
 * {2} But the Upaniṣads also recognize such a thing as avidyā or agnosis, indicating the eclipse of gnosis.
 * {3} “In the imperishable Brahman, transcendent and infinite, there lie hidden the two, namely gnosis and agnosis. Of these (the one, namely) agnosis is perishable, while (the other, namely) gnosis is immortal. (But) he who rules over gnosis and agnosis is another”.3
 * {4} An independent karma-philosophy is the result of agnosis (avidyā), as Śankara argues in the context of his comment on the climactic utterance (caramaśloka) of the entire Gītā (i.e. 18.66):

 * {6} The discovery is made possible by the grace of Vāk, and thereby agnosis itself is grasped as what is marked for dissipation.

 * In English 521, I have also presented a lecture on censorship that identifies what James Moffett calls “agnosis” – the desire not to know – as the chief characteristic of the censoring mind. According to the editors of The Right to Literacy, “what James Moffet calls ‘agnosis’: not wanting to know, the fear of knowing,” may be the greatest threat to literacy, greater even than the threat of government, schools, or property (5).

 * There is a trivial agnosis which has always existed and which fills life with pleasure and profit. Alongside that there is a vindictive agnosis which consists in renouncing images of God which have marred the pleasure in human life, especially what Delumeau calls ‘la religion de la peur’, the religion of fear, associating God with the Western culture of guilt and shame. There is also a philosophical agnosis which regards the idea of God as an unacceptable, superfluous and therefore irrational addition to reality. This agnosis has assumed the form of a critique of the metaphysical concept of God in theism. This criticism of theism is essentially bound up with the concept of modernity, with the secularization thesis and positivism. Finally – though this needs separate treatment – there is a far more aporetic and enigmatic agnosis which cannot reconcile the idea of God with the bitter riddle of the suffering caused by disasters, wars, sickness and death and all the evil that people do to one another (see Chapter 3).3

 * The situation of the person who denies that metaphysical objectivity that is essential to the very idea of truth is not only one of self-contradiction, but of permanent agnosis.
