Why ToK?

We do ToK because it helps us become more responsible knowers, so that when we acquire knowledge it doesn't go to waste. We do it to learn.

The IB learner profile is central in being a responsible knower, so the goal of ToK is also to teach the IB learner profile.

What is TOK, anyway?

TOK is the study of Knowledge, how we know what we know. I know this because I have been told.

My Identity as a knower

My identity as a knower:

• Reason
  
• Mathematics

Anyone who knows me (how?) knows that I do not express my emotions very well or often, just facts, like "I am hungry" or "I need sleep". Therefore, I can not be in the emotional category. Language and Sense Perception are closer to me, as I find the study of languages fascinating, but I am not a big talker. I am more observant than most people, but that does not define me as much as reason. I am usually the first to point out the logical way to do things, and I am pretty good at sudoku.
