THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE |
THOUGHT PROVOKING READINGS |
TOK is a course about critical thinking and inquiring into the process of knowing, rather than about learning a specific body of knowledge. The TOK course examines how we know what we claim to know. It does this by analyzing knowledge claims and explore knowledge questions. A knowledge claim is the assertion that “I/we know X” or “I/we know how to Y”, or a statement about knowledge; a knowledge question is an open question about knowledge. There is a distinction between shared knowledge and personal knowledge that is important to TOK.
Throughout the course, you will focus on questions about knowledge. These questions may sound a little abstract at first, but they are based on what happens in real life (the world around us). In that sense, knowledge questions are not purely philosophical. The IBO has grouped the suggested knowledge questions around four elements: scope, perspectives, methods & tools and ethics. These elements provide a basis, or a framework for the knowledge questions. |
