30 FOR TOK: IB PHILOSOPHY: THE THINKING BEHIND SUBJECT: 10

Philosophy is the discipline that questions everything, including itself. For IB Philosophy students, TOK is not a supplement to their studies. It is a continuation of them, and this book pushes that continuation as far as it will go. 30 For 30 TOK: IB Philosophy is the tenth book in the 30 For 30 TOK series, which pairs thirty IB diploma subjects with thirty searching questions about the nature of the knowledge it produces. This volume focuses on the IB Philosophy course, asking questions at the intersection of epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and the philosophy of mind that the syllabus raises but that reward far deeper exploration than classroom time allows. From Descartes's radical doubt to Gödel's incompleteness theorems, from the problem of personal identity to the question of whether moral progress is a coherent idea, the thirty questions in this book press on the deepest issues in the philosophical tradition. Sample responses model what sustained, rigorous philosophical argument looks like in practice. Designed for IB Philosophy students, teachers, TOK educators, and anyone who loves the feeling of a question that refuses to resolve itself neatly.
