Mini ToK Essay

2.  Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of reason as a way of knowing.
KI: To what extent is the ability to reason the same as the ability to know?
To what extent does knowledge reflect what we reason?

Main Points: Is reason alone enough to know?
Knowledge does not need to be rational or sorted.

Argument: I can know so many irrational things, and just because they are irrational doesnt mean they are not part of my knowledge.
The Irrational many times leads to creativity, to art, to thinking out of the box, and this type of knowledge is sometimes the most sought after.

  2. Remember that Reason is a WoK.
    I like your main point as a KI.
    A main point is a statement, so you could say 'Reason alone is enough to know!' And go from there.
