📝 1. The task


Choose one of these six questions. They are big questions, without simple answers.

  1. How do our interactions with the material world shape our knowledge?
  2. How much of our knowledge depends on our interactions with other knowers?
  3. Does knowledge always require some kind of rational basis?
  4. How do we acquire knowledge?
  5. Why are the criteria for what counts as knowledge not obvious?
  6. How do empathy and imagination help us to understand other perspectives?

Write 300 to 400 words answering your question, using an object from your home that is linked to your knowledge.

🧱 2. What your piece must do


  1. Show your object: start with your photograph.
  2. Explain the object and its context: what it is, and its story: who, what, when, where.
