Man by nature desires to know, and the most natural way of
satisfying this desire is to find answers to the questions that
arise from wonder and perplexity. Questioning is our default view
of method. I was turned into a cornerstone of western thought in
the Socratic elenchus and Aristotles doctrine of explanation and
inquiry. Aristotles dialogical games, especially as they find
expression in Topics, survived medieval dialectical games and had a
profound impact on practices in academic life. And even when
Aristotelianism came under fire during the renaissance and the
Scientific Revolution, questioning as method was not jettisoned but
rather transformed into a new form in which the questions were to
be addressed to Nature herself. Questioning is not just a method
but also a philosophy in its own right. Man not only desires to
know, but wonder and perplexity are at the very heart of mans
essence. As Karl- Otto Apel persuasively argues, Gadamers Truth and
Method was not just, or perhaps even mainly, a methodological
insight into how knowledge was to be obtained. Rather, in
philosophical hermeneutics questioning has a more profound
standing, marking, as Apel puts it, "logos-reflection" and hence
dialogue in the full sense. This collection of essays by leading
philosophers probes questioning as philosophy and as method both
from a historical and a systematic perspective. The authors include
J. Hintikka, P. Aubenque, R. Smith, M.-L. Kakkuri-Knuuttila, E.
Moutsopoulos, T. Calvo Martinez, M. Yrjonsuuri, J.-F. Courtine,
K.-O. Appel, V. A. Lektorsky, G. Schurz, M. Sintonen, and W.
Rabinowicz & L. Bovens
