in: , The logic of epistemology and the epistemology of logic, Berlin, Springer, 1989Abstract
Questioning is not only an important philosophical method; it offers a useful model for many different types of knowledge-seeking. For the time being, I shall in fact treat questioning as a process of information-gathering in general. Only later, once the structure of information-seeking by questioning has been discussed, can we see how variants of this method are particularly adept to serve the purposes of philosophical thinking.
