Intellectual ablastia
Definition
An abstract concept used in modern philosophy and epistemology to denote the complete absence of seeds for spiritual, intellectual, or conceptual development; a state of total creative sterility or the inability of a doctrine to generate new ideas or theoretical evolution. Unlike ignorance, the term emphasizes the intrinsic lack of evolutionary potential within a system of thought.
