Theory of knowledge essay

World Count: 1600

, “Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.”1 This sentence said by

Maria Sklodowska-Curie perfectly emphasizes the uniqueness of the World and the

struggle of people to understand it. Since the beginning of the existence of human

beings, the questions about how to live, how something was created or what is its

purpose were asked, but they have never been fully answered. People are life-time

explorers, they constantly attempt to understand the World from different

perspectives by assuming, analysing and interpreting various phenomena occurring,

as they think inside and around them. Consequently, they make statements and very

often personal judgments designed to describe the World in a simple,

comprehensible way - theories. The theory has a variety of meanings. It can be just

a hunch or an idea without any evidence, as well as explanation of observations

with sufficient verification. Every area of knowledge has its own bunch of theories,

which improves the understanding of World. Each knowledge system has its own

aggregate way of investigating things, proving their validity and finally changing them

in theories.

Nonetheless, every theory has its own limitations, since it explores the problem from

a certain, bounded perspective, excluding the other, alternative points of view, which

basically can reject it. The word “limitation” suggests that even though the great

effort is put in judging something, it still does not provide us with full understanding of

neither a single event or the whole concept of the World intricacity. There is always

something more. For this reason the multiplicity of theories should be retained, as it

improves the objectivity and ambiguity of theories, which is crucial in understanding

the World.
