The Theory of Knowledge—a core element of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme—is a course in epistemology and practical philosophy. By examining short texts (including but not limited to local and world issues, philosophy, history and its perspectives, and scientific research) and the knowledge issues they contain and inspire, you will gain the skills necessary to analyze knowledge claims, their underlying assumptions, and their implications.

Wherefore Art Thou Knowers?
Please begin your posts by explaining your two moments of knowing in Art from tonight's talk by Anna Schuleit Haber. For each moment, provide the knowledge question you've extracted, think through your
answer to your own question, and transpose the KQ to another moment from your own experience in a different area of knowledge. These are due by 9:30 Friday night.
Please read your classmates' work by Sunday 12/1, then post a second time, offering your own unique perspective and answers to two of your classmates' answered KQs (use two different people's work). This second post is due Sunday 12/1 at 9:30. Let's all come to class having read each other's work. If you need a break, check out this Art of Noise.
