Prompt 1: What counts as knowledge

TOK Talk · Prompt 1 What Counts As Knowledge?

This is the first in a series exploring the TOK Exhibition Prompts. In these episodes, I don't intend to answer the questions, but rather explore them and get you thinking. I hope you enjoy and find it stimulating!

To explore Prompt 1: What counts of knowledge, it was helpful to think about the following Types of Knowledge: 

• Factual
• Conceptual
• Procedural
• A Posteriori knowledge - from personal experiences
• A Priori knowledge - from reason
• Expert knowledge - deep knowledge from a discipline
• Empirical Knowledge - from senses alone
• Encoded Knowledge - knowledge encoded in symbols
• Personal
