    It does list “the condition of being […] unaware” in the definitions you quoted. I think it’s fair to say ignorance can mean being unaware, but ignorance can at times also signify that it is intentional, or that a person is choosing to ignore information.

      Though saying “ignorance is the lack of knowledge” stands true, regardless of whether that lack of knowledge is intentional or not.
