## Knowledge questions and claims
There are two types of knowledge **claims**:
- First-order claims: claims that are made in areas of knowledge or by individual knowers about the world
- Second-order claims: claims that are made about **knowledge** justified using TOK, usually involving an examination of the nature of knowledge
!!! example
- The sky is blue. (first-order)
- Logic is innate. (second-order)
Knowledge **questions** are questions that examine or engage with knowledge claims, such as by including any of the following phrases:
- How can we know that…
- …knowledge…
- How far is it justified…
!!! example
Is our knowledge in mathematics more certain than that of science?
