The Theory of Knowledge course is
central to the philosophy of the
International Baccalaureate Diploma
Programme. It encourages students to
question the basis of knowledge and
to develop the ability to evaluate
critically information from a wide range
of sources. Unlike most academic
courses, where students are used to
being given facts that they are
expected to learn, in this course they
are expected to question knowledge
itself – What do I know How do I
know it Is it likely to be true or not
Questions that have interested people
over the centuries include:
• what is good art
• can I trust my senses
• will science tell us everything
• how did the Universe start
• is there life after death
Theory of Knowledge provides an
introductory framework that looks at
how to approach these and other
questions. It covers ways to look for
answers and highlights the problems
that arise when we do so. To
encourage this critical thinking and to
stimulate discussion, this Student’s
Book also includes a wide range of
material from other sources. This new
edition includes a variety of new
activities in each chapter plus a
revised chapter on morality and two
new chapters on truth and
assessment.
