Why do we seek knowledge?

Our endless hunger for information is an important aspect of what makes us human; it is what drives us
to search for solutions to problems and to develop an understanding of the world that surrounds us. In
the context of this TOK exhibition, the theme of "Knowledge and the Knower" is explored through the use
of three objects: the apple of Isaac Newton, the Pythagorean theorem, and the Bible printed by
Gutenberg. Each item provides insight into human curiosity and highlights a key discovery that has
occurred throughout human history.

The Gutenberg Bible

Johannes Gutenberg, a German printer, was responsible for printing the Bible in the 1450s. The Bible is
the beginning of the process of making information and knowledge available to others. Only a handful of
privileged persons, such as priests, royalty, and scholars, had access to these materials prior to the
invention of the printing press. Before the invention of the printing press, people wrote texts by hand,
which took a long time.

Gutenberg's printing of the Bible reflects the human need and desire to make information accessible to a
large number of people. The importance of spreading religious works to a wider audience, as well as the
desire to enhance mutual understanding and the sharing of ideas among all individuals, provided the
spark for its creation. The spread of information has increased significantly, which has benefited
education, culture, and science.

The Gutenberg Bible is a prime example of the endless possibilities that exist within the field of
technological advancement and invention. It demonstrates how society can harness these advancements
for a broader benefit, enabling more individuals to engage with, contribute to, and reap the benefits of
knowledge.

The Pythagorean Theorem

Pythagoras, a Greek mathematician, was credited with formulating the Pythagorean Theorem, which is
also considered to be one of the key principles in mathematics. To give a simple explanation, the square of
the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of the
triangle. This theorem emerged circa 500 BCE, profoundly impacting fields such as mathematics, physics,
engineering, and architecture.

The Pythagorean Theorem is a symbol of humanity's desire to understand the universe through rational
thinking and physical proof. The theory demonstrates that we are naturally curious and feel a sense of
satisfaction when we find solutions to problems.

In the field of knowledge, the Pythagorean Theorem serves as a prime example of the significance of
logical reasoning and thoughtfulness. It demonstrates how one can utilize mathematical concepts as a
foundation to gain a better understanding of the world. This item is an example of the vast amount of
knowledge that exists, as well as the influence that historical discoveries have had on modern society.

Isaac Newtonâ€TMs Apple

Isaac Newton's apple is a symbol of the discovery of the law of gravitation during his lifetime. After
observing the fall of an apple from a tree, Isaac Newton continued his studies into the forces of nature,
which resulted in the development of the laws of motion and gravitation in the 17th century. In spite of
the fact that the story is a myth, it could still be considered an important historical event.

Newton's apple is a symbol for the vital role that awareness and observation play in the discovery process,
as well as the unknown nature of the process itself. This illustrates how seemingly insignificant events can
spark discoveries and propel human knowledge forward. Newton's curiosity about the apple's fall led to
the development of a scientific understanding of the universe that was revolutionary.

Conclusion:

The Pythagorean Theorem, the Gutenberg Bible, and Isaac Newton's Apple are all significant objects that
demonstrate the factors that contribute to the natural desire for knowledge. When it comes to the pursuit
of knowledge, they highlight the importance of observation, abstract reasoning, and technological
innovation. The objects in this exhibition show that the primary motivation for obtaining knowledge is the
need to understand and find solutions to problems, as well as the need to communicate our ideas and
perspectives to other people.
