The human part of chance-discovery is usually analysed as an effect of the agents knowledge of herself and of her environment. In this paper, setting off from the importance of understanding the meaning of an impending phenomenon as a chance, we will analyse how chance-discovery activities are affected and driven by the agents ignorance, and the relationship she entertains with the latter. More specifically, we will spell out two kinds of ignorance that are relevant for chance-discovery, also considering which abductive chance-discovery processes they can be related to.

Abstract
The human part of chance-discovery is usually analysed as an effect of the agents knowledge of herself and of her environment. In this paper, setting off from the importance of understanding the meaning of an impending phenomenon as a chance, we will analyse how chance-discovery activities are affected and driven by the agents ignorance, and the relationship she entertains with the latter. More specifically, we will spell out two kinds of ignorance that are relevant for chance-discovery, also considering which abductive chance-discovery processes they can be related to.File in questo prodotto:
