Theory of Knowledge I IB is an analytical and abstract look at the process of acquiring knowledge. “What can we know?” and “How can we know?” are the two central questions. The course will explore the nature of the individual as a knower; the function of reason, perception, language, and emotion as ways of knowing; and the disciplines human science, history, natural science, math, the arts, and ethics as areas of knowledge. Various readings, discussions, activities, and the work of historic knowledge theorists will form the basis of the curriculum. Theory of Knowledge is required for the International Baccalaureate Diploma.
