Some typical ToK questions:
• Does a historian record History, or create it?
• Does the possession of knowledge carry an ethical responsibility?
• To what extent is formulating a scientific hypothesis comparable to
creating a work of art?
• What did Frank Zappa mean when he claimed that “Talking about
music is like dancing about architecture”?
• Can you do mathematics questions without understanding the
mathematics?
• Is it reasonable to think that human behaviour can be studied
scientifically?
