“Most instructors are used to having a curriculum handed to them in textbook form.” What evidence do you have to back up this assertion? This is most definitely not my (or my colleagues) experience over the last 15 years.
Limiting a ToK class to one source would be utterly disastrous and totally against the entire aims of the programme.
I didn’t mean to suggest that limiting a course to one source is a good idea or commonly practiced. Rather, what I meant was that a course needs at least one good source of relevant material that won’t run out, as a base to which other things are added. In my experience, almost all courses have something like that, and instructors supplement the main textbook to varying degrees.
