Preface

This book is the written companion to the DP1 Theory of Knowledge course.

It is designed for independent study and review. Each chapter follows the course sequence: the three core themes of DP1 Semester 1, followed by the five Areas of Knowledge studied in DP1 Semester 2.

For class slides, see the Presentations page. For key term definitions, see the Glossary.


Central question of the course:

“How do I know what I know?”

Every chapter returns to this question from a different angle.
