To pursue true knowledge, one must first acknowledge their own ignorance from "summary" of Philosophical Fragments by Soren Kierkegaard

In the pursuit of true knowledge, one must inevitably confront their own ignorance. This acknowledgment of one's own lack of understanding is not a sign of weakness, but rather a crucial step towards gaining true wisdom. Without recognizing the limits of our own knowledge, we are unable to truly open ourselves up to new ideas and insights. By acknowledging our ignorance, we are able to approach learning with a sense of humility and openness. This humility allows us to set aside our preconceived notions and biases, and to approach new information with a willingness to learn and grow. It is this willingness to admit our own limitations that allows us to truly expand our understanding of the world around us. Furthermore, by recognizing our own ignorance, we are able to engage with knowledge in a more meaningful and authentic way. Instead of simply seeking to confirm our existing beliefs, we are able to approach new ideas with a sense of curiosity and wonder. This sense of curiosity allows us to delve deeper into complex concepts and to truly engage with the material at hand. In this way, the acknowledgment of our own ignorance is not a barrier to knowledge, but rather a gateway to true understanding. It is through this recognition of our own limitations that we are able to push past the boundaries of what we already know, and to truly pursue knowledge in its purest form. Only by embracing our own ignorance can we hope to gain the wisdom and insight that comes from a genuine pursuit of knowledge.
