"ignorant" and "attitude." 18:09 Mar 18, 2020
There seems to be a robust discussion among the respondents about the subtle shades of meanings of "ignorant" that could arise from choosing one morpheme versus another. On the other hand, there seems to be a complete disregard for precision regarding the meaning of "attitude," as if one can replace it with "opinion," "conduct," or "behavior." I have always thought that attitude and behavior, though related in real life, are not the same things. For example, one can be punished for his/her behavior, but his/her attitude is nobody's business. I am also astonished to see it completely eliminated, with the phrase "ignorant attitude" translated to "ignorance." I thought that ignorance was different from having an ignorant attitude. To my mind, an ignorant attitude is an attitude that arises from lack of knowledge or from a negative attitude towards the value of knowledge. I think that in the text quoted by the asker, the former is meant. In one instant, "ignorant attitude" is translated to "recklessness."
On the whole, I am astonished as to how these two terms are being treated: one with extra attention to semantics (justified or not), the other with no attention at all. What gives? |
