We can be aware of particulars, properties, events, propositions, facts, how to do things, and qualia. We can also have knowledge of and be conscious of a similar range of objects. We can, furthermore, be ignorant of such objects. Awareness is quite clearly related to knowledge, consciousness, and ignorance. But how? My current research explores answers to this question. See The Ignorance Dilemma and Awareness-First Epistemology for a quick overview of issues related to this question. See Awareness and the Substructure of Knowledge for an extensive treatment of the relation between the awareness of facts and propositional knowledge. See my joint work with Wes Siscoe on the relation between awareness of facts, ignorance of facts, and degrees of factual awareness/ignorance.
