TOK EXHIBITION Object 1: A Library’s Dewey Decimal Classification Guide
Theme: Knowledge and Language
Rationale: The Dewey Decimal System, as a method for organising books and resources in a library, serves as a tangible representation of how classification systems in knowledge repositories influence access to and perceptions of knowledge. This guide can spark discussions on the implications of categorising knowledge according to a predefined system, including how such systems might prioritise certain types of knowledge over others, potentially shaping the knower’s exploration and valuation of information. It prompts consideration of how language and classification interact to structure our understanding of the vast landscape of human knowledge.
