Knower p1

I have just created this Blog. I am interested to see how this works out, and basically I will put things that go through my mind. Some might be interesting or not. If I'm surfing the web and I get a cool site or a cool video I'll post the links. But first off I want to state that I am an IB(International Baccalaureate) student. Currently a junior, and I plan on continuing the programme. In IB there is a class that is called Theory of Knowledge. I will refer to this class as ToK. ToK is basically a philosophy class that breaks how we know things or if we don't and how or why. The four ways of Knowing are: Sense Perception, Reason, Language, and Emotion. The six areas of Knowledge are: Human Sciences, Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Ethics, History, and The Arts. The main linking questions/words are: Belief, Certainty, Culture, Evidence, Experience, Explanation, Interpretation, Intuition, Justification, Reliability, Technology, Truth, Understanding, Values. Knowledge Issue(s) (K.I.(s)) are: Open-ended question; Explicitly about knowledge; Couched in ToK vocabulary and concepts; precise in terms of relationships between these concepts. Now that you know the terminology you should be able to follow.
