Pon Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hello, I am writing my TOK paper on “The whole point of knowledge is to produce both meaning and purpose in our personal lives.†To what extent do you agree with this statement? I have already explored what meaning and/or purpose are, and would like to form a second knowledge question based on the first half of the statement. My question - is defining what the purpose of knowledge is too broad? Thanks. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteban Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I guess I'm not quite sure what your asking. Your knowledge question is decent, but can become superb if you consider:A superb knowledge question generally begins with the phrase: To what extent.....A superb knowledge question is universal. Your knowledge question (Is defining what the purpose of knowledge is too broad?) focuses on Language as a Way of Knowing. Try generalizing the knowledge question a bit more.A superb knowledge question can not be answered with simply a yes/no. There must be significant depth in order to achieve meaningful investigation. If you would like more help please send me a private message and I'll do my best to reply within 3-7 business days (hey I'm human too!). -----Esteban Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
