I think what I’ve taken from TOK the most is questioning the knowledge I have, and the knowledge others have, and its basis for certainty, especially to what extent does faith play a role in our belief in our knowledge. How do we know to trust the sources our knowledge came from? How do we determine the credibility of our sources? Likewise, even if the source is credible, would it not just be faith if we never see the actual phenomenon with our own eyes? Must we use perception to confirm the authenticity of truth? But then, what of areas that cannot be seen?

I don’t think I have fully formed an answer to all of these questions. However, before TOK, I only thought that the credibility of our knowledge only mattered on the sources. I had never thought that faith would play a role in the creation of personal knowledge. TOK has made me really question how anyone can define knowledge solidly.
