IB Theory of Knowledge is a course required for IB Diploma candidates. It is designed to foster in students a habit of mind that reflects on human ways and limits of knowing as well as on the human ability to communicate these ways of knowing. Students will explore fundamental questions of epistemology by reflecting and questioning the basis of knowledge and experience, examining cultural and ideological bias, and by formulating rational arguments and value judgments of their own. Academic disciplines examined include language, history, logic, science, mathematics, ethics, and aesthetics. The course includes an externally assessed paper and an internally assessed oral presentation.
