ToK Review: The BIG Picture in Minutes

This show consists of a series of podcasts reviewing key topics in Theory of Knowledge. The first 3 episodes offer a general introduction to Theory of knowledge (Ways of Knowing, Personal and Shared knowledge, forming Knowledge Questions). The remaining podcasts cover the Areas of Knowledge. Supplementary material is available on the companion site.
I hope these podcasts will help students prepare for topic assessments, and the ToK Essay. Sorry about the ads-the price of free podcasting!

Episode 5: Natural Science as an Area of Knowledge

The podcast distinguishes science from psuedo-science, and then lays out the tradtional view of the scientific method. The remainder of the podcast deconstruct this view, using the work of Kemeny, Bronowski, Popper, and Kuhn to offer a more sophisticated view of the scientific method.Supplementary material relevant to this podcast may be found on the companion site
