InquiryInquiry seems familiar enough. It is given with the questions of our practical problems, our theoretical wonderWonder, as well as our communicative life. But do we attend to it straightaway? Not at all. We are instead captivated by the world in which we live, absorbed in our questions. Quite naturally, we take inquiryInquiry for granted, naively presuming questions will arise where they need answers. To be sure, we recognize and rely on this fact. After all, we train scientists to observe closely and we trust educators to guide rightly, so that where we have yet to inquire, we might still. But this is not yet a disengaged inquiryInquiry into inquiry itself. To that end, I pursue a phenomenology of inquiry.
