A question is the beginning of the search for knowledge or information necessary to answer the question. The question expresses a desire to know the answer to the question. We ask questions of all kinds ranging from the mundane(Where are the car keys?) to the sublime ( Is there life after death?) so it is hard to pin down all the characteristics of what a Question is in a satisfactory manner without first identifying the subject of the question.
As a philosopher I focus my questions on topics in philosophy esp topics in the philosophy of mind,language, and science. My questions are hard-to-answer study questions that obligate you to think about matters that few dare to tackle because they are interdisciplinary in nature.
