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?
