Abstract
Interrelations of knowledge and ignorance are considered in connection with problems of classification, increase of parascientific investiga tions and incomplete world pictures. The tension between knowledge and ignorance can never be overcome, because knowledge is secondary, rela tive, particular and finite, while ignorance is primary, whole, absolu te, and infinite.
