An Introduction to Theory of Knowledge in History
In this 20-slide presentation, students are introduced to the concept that “Knowledge” in History consists not only of the selection of facts from an incomplete historical record, but the interpretation of those facts and of the gaps in that record by historians. There is also a detailed consideration of the role played by sense perception as a source of knowledge in History, complete with case studies focusing on the recent “statue wars” and other examples from public spaces.
