Philosophy of questions
What is the
philosophy of questions
What is a question. Why do we ask questions. What makes a question good or bad. How can we ask better questions.
​
The philosophy of questions asks these questions and many more. It is all about understanding the nature and value of questions and applying this to everyday life.
Simply put, it is the philosophical study of questions.
Q - The Hidden power of questions
Q explores the amazing power of questions and how we can learn to use it. On a journey that takes us from the death of Socrates to the dawn of AI, the book investigates how questions have shaped our world in significant and largely unrecognised ways, from the evolution of our species to how we experience the worlds of school and work, to healthcare and law, to our closest relationships.
​
The book publishes on 4th August 2026 in US and 27th August 2026 in UK.
