Knowledge issues are questions that explicitly address knowledge. Knowledge issues are best expressed in terms of ToK vocabulary. For example, When is a scientist justified in saying that she knows something? Does intuition help us make moral judgements? To what extent does language influence our understanding of history? KNOWLEDGE ISSUES (KIs)

This is the sort of vocabulary you need to help you construct good knowledge issues: WoKs: reason, emotion, language, sense perception AoKs: mathematics, natural sciences, human sciences, history, ethics, the arts Others: truth, certainty, evidence, proof, explanation, prediction, interpretation, justification, intuition, experience, culture, values, belief, objective/subjective
