Chapter 2 basically introduced us to logical and conceptual ways of thinking, but what chapter 3 did was go deeper into specific things. Like tell us about the different types of knowledge. There are two types of knowledge. Knowledge by presence which is knowledge that you have because of yourself it is basically knowledge about yourself. And then the second, Acquired knowledge is knowledge that you pick up during your lifetime. Knowledge is sometimes defined as "The presence of the image of an object in mind." Therefor knowledge would be converting a real object into a reflection in ones mind, Which is pretty crazy is you think about it.
The definition of Ignorance is "Lack of knowledge on the part of one who is able to obtain knowledge." Ignorance is also divided into two types, simple ignorance and compound ignorance. Simple ignorance is when the person knows that they are being ignorant. Compound ignorance is a different type where the person is unaware that they are being ignorant, an example would be optical illusions, like a mirage.
