Objectivity in the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) refers to the idea of perceiving, understanding, and communicating knowledge without personal bias, emotions, or subjective influence. It’s about striving for impartiality and fairness in the way we gather and interpret information. In TOK, we often contrast objectivity with subjectivity, where subjectivity involves personal perspectives, feelings, and biases.
