A plural for a noun that usually resists counting, so it does particular work. Counted, ignorance stops being a general state and becomes separate gaps, each a thing someone did not know. The plural can also carry a religious meaning: ignorances as sins committed through not knowing, wrongs done without understanding they were wrong. The surrounding words usually make clear whether gaps in knowledge or sins are meant.
