For every question, is there always an answer?

Question

Why?

For every question (including this one), is there always a true answer? Why?

Answer 1

what?

Answer 2

This is a dialectic trap! There is always a true answer for every question - since even an 'I don't know' is a true answer from every aspect (presuming that the answerer really doesn't know). Only no answer would be an untrue, because there is no answer. And, we can conclude that if something doesn't exist, it can not be true.
However, if you expand the question to 'For every question, is there always a true answer, concerning the inquiry given in the question?', then I couldn't say, really. Because a human being can never be objective about the outer world (or even about his own inner world), almost no answer can be true, concerning the question's main point and inquiry.
Basically, that's what I think...

Answer 3

Quite certainly not. After all, there are irrational questions such as: "How tall is Sunday?" They are question, in the sense that they have an interrogative grammatical structure, but are irrational, (i.e., un-parsable) in that they convey nothing meaningful.

If you are asking whether all rational questions have an answer, well, I must respond by again saying, no. The reason for this, is that all questions, in their existential character of being, are possessed; that is, every question that exists, is a question that is being or has actually been asked. Since we know that many questions exist which have not been answered, and that some people will die without getting the answers they were looking for, we can say that there is not necessarily always an answer for every question. But that only works if you suppose that questions can only exist so long as they are actually held by someone in particular.

Answer 4

I would tend to say, yes. Since I've asked questions for which the only response I received was silence. Consider the question: Will you be quiet? The proper answer is silence.

On the other hand, the only question without an answer, is the one never asked. I think someone said that once (besides me).

Now, you also asked, does every question have a true answer. That's not so simple. Suppose I asked: "Will you please tell me a lie?" If the response was correct, it would also not be "true".

Answer 5

An answer? Of course not. But answers? Definitely yes. Different people have different interpretations and opinions to a question. So I can safely say that, there's no definite answer. But there are always answers to every question. Perhaps I shouldn't call them answers but responses instead.

Answer 6

Yes for every question there is always an answer, but is not always the right answer.

Answer 7

Yes, and sometimes many. It is called multiple truths. Sometimes though, we can not see the answer right away, and other times, we deny it. For every question, someone on yahoo answers has the answer.

Answer 8

No, not every question has an answer
because it is impossible for human to have all the knowledge
and also some things are unexplainable/ unanswered

Answer 9

An answer, always. A correct answer, usually. A truthful answer, impossible to know.

Answer 10

No, because sometimes I just do not have the answer. Like this oe...Sometimes the questions are just to far feched....like this one. And sometimes there is just not an answer...or the person that knows the answer did not see it.

Answer 11

Action and reaction one of the laws of physics.
Even a No respond is a answer.
