Why Question?

Why question?

Why bother?

Isn't thinking enough?

What's the difference, anyway?

Isn't questioning and thinking part and parcel of the same whole?

No. Not exactly.

You can have one
without the other.

There is plenty of thinking that never achieves lift-off, never
contributes to understanding and never casts light on issues of
importance. Much thinking beats around the bush, wanders off course
and fails to inform or illuminate.

That is because thinking can be done in an unquestioning manner.

Thinking without questioning is like drinking without swallowing.

This book promotes the fusion of powerful questioning with thinking.

We must raise young ones to question, to wonder and to learn.

We will encourage students to become serial questioners committed to
pursuing important questions until capable of making sense of their
worlds and capable of fashioning smart answers to life's challenges.
