Hey ToKers,
First of all, you are awesome, as always. Please review your last comment about “acquiring knowledge.” Then, reply with a thought-provoking comment.
Second, please respond to this question in a 50 -100 word response:
A) In your book, how do ‘language’ and ‘key concepts’ construct or shape knowledge?
B) Which metaphors are use to convey knowledge? How effect is this in shaping what we know, believe, or claim to know?
Thanks so much!
Regards,
Coey
Hey ToKers,
Given that we have some additional time to freely explore different perspectives, I am offering this book and film list to enrage, enlighten, and envelope your fragile egg-like minds with ToKness (yes, it’s now a noun)
ToK summer reading and viewing list!
Your first post is due Monday, May 26.
Please answer the following question in a 50-100 word response with at least one specific quote from the book to support your response.
1. Which approach to gaining knowledge is explored in your book? How is “acquiring knowledge” discussed?
p.s. I just read this fascinating article, Eight Pseudo-scientific Climate Claims Debunked by Real Scientists. Fabulous! Great information for anyone living in a republican controlled state, e.g., Texas or Florida.
p.p.s. If you are considering another ToK presentation, I would strongly encourage you to consider Bill Moyers’ website and journalism as fertile ToK ground. He has already planted and grown; it’s up to you to harvest!
