Read the Guardian article on cortical colouring by clicking on this hyperlink. What issues or questions regarding the role of sense perception as a tool to gather knowledge can you raise after having read the article? What does the article make us think about in terms of the limitations of sense perception as a way of knowing? Does this have implications for how we rely on our senses when we want to gather knowledge in different subjects? You should illustrate your answers with further examples from the real world (eg from documentaries, articles, things you have come across in lessons).
In our TOK classes, we looked at different possible definitions and interpretations of knowledge. Remember the knowledge as a map metaphor? The definition of knowledge as justified true belief? Which one do you like best or least and why? How would you define knowledge?
