Epistemology is the branch of philosophy concerned with the theory of knowledge, exploring the nature, sources, limitations, and validity of human understanding. It addresses fundamental questions about what knowledge is, how it is acquired, and how we can differentiate between true knowledge and mere belief.

The Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is a core component of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, designed to encourage students to reflect on the nature of knowledge and how we know what we claim to know. It challenges students to question the bases of knowledge, to be aware of subjective and ideological biases, and to develop the ability to analyze evidence and express complex ideas.

The nature of knowledge explores the fundamental questions about what knowledge is, how it is acquired, and the extent to which it is possible for a given subject or entity to be known. It involves examining the justification, truth, and belief systems that underpin our understanding of the world and the limits of human cognition.

The validity of human understanding hinges on the interplay between subjective perception and objective reality, necessitating rigorous critical thinking and empirical validation. This ongoing process helps ensure that our interpretations and conclusions about the world are grounded in reliable evidence rather than mere assumptions or biases.
