A TOK Structural Framework
Sources, Functions, and Implications of Knowledge
![Page 2: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Things Exist
Nothing Exists but My Mind

RealityIsAnIllusionSo…

In practical terms…
Whatev

is real.

Implications for Knowledge
![Page 7: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Only one thing exists—
a single mind
Solipsism
![Page 8: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
All other reality is created by that mind as an act of imagination.
Solipsism
![Page 9: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The creation is arbitrary and subject to arbitrary change.
Solipsism
![Page 10: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“Knowledge” is a matter of perceiving what is imagined at any given moment.
Solipsism
![Page 11: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“Learning” is a matter of perceiving the current “reality.”
Solipsism
![Page 12: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Perception cannot be wrong.
All knowledge is:temporary,arbitrary, and pointless.
Therefore…
![Page 13: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The problem with that…
Truth by Pragmatism
![Page 14: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The problem with that…
Solipsism
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.
--Philip K. Dick
REALITY
![Page 15: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Realism
![Page 16: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
In practical terms…
Whatever is
real is real,
regardless of
what I
believe.
![Page 17: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Implications for Knowledge
![Page 18: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Things other than our own mind exist.
Realism
![Page 19: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Knowledge is a matter of ascertaining the truth of the external reality.
Realism

Reality is both understandable and predictable to a significant degree.

Our minds have some control over reality, but what we can create is limited by the laws of physics.
Realism

Access to RealityIs bounded by the limitations of our ways of
knowing :

Increasing Access to Reality

Learning is a matter of refining previous understanding.

Realism

THINGS WE
CAN’T KNOW
THINGS WE KNOW
THINGS WE
DON’TKNOW
• We don’t know what we don’t know.• We don’t know how much we don’t know.• We may possibly one day know all there is to know.• (That seems unlikely.)• We will not be able to know if we know all that there is to
know.
![Page 26: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Perception and interpretation can be flawed.Technology cannot provide us with infinite
extension of our own perception.The universe is immense; even with
miraculous technology we can’t reach it all.Reality changes over time.
RealismReality is probably NOT completely knowable
![Page 27: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Learning requires
discipline, care, objectivity, commitment,
and flexibility.
Therefore:
![Page 28: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Learning results in something real that can be used as the basis for decision-making.
Implications of Realism:
![Page 29: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
An investigation into the limits and capabilities, the liabilities and assets of our Ways of Knowing
AND
An investigation into the mechanisms, both technological and procedural, within each of the Areas of Knowledge that allow us to maximize the assets and minimize the liabilities of our Ways of Knowing.
What is TOK?
![Page 30: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Seeking Reality…means seeking facts
![Page 31: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Something that is true by correspondence.• Something that is true by coherence, but which has additionally been established through lengthy and careful study and rests on a vast body of evidence. (This kind of fact is not absolutely certain, but is nearly so.)
Something that is true by authority.
What is a Fact?
![Page 32: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
We don’t know all the facts of the universe.We may never know all the facts of the
universe.We will never know whether we know all the
facts of the universe.Some facts are beyond our ability to alter.ALL facts are beyond our ability to alter
simply by wishing.
Implication of the Nature of Facts:
![Page 33: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
To equip you to know the difference between:Developing facts based on opinions…Developing opinions based on facts.
Barack Obama was born in Kenya!
Actually, no. And it wouldn’t matter
if he had been!

An Important Goal of TOK:
![Page 34: A TOK Structural Framework. Whatever I believe is real.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103112/551bf3cf550346ad4f8b4570/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Students learn to have as much control over their lives as possible.
An Important Goal of TOK:

Students learn to assess the quality and reliability of information so that they cannot be easily manipulated.
