The Generative Roots of Inquiry

摘要

This chapter reconstructs Husserl’s inquiry-back into the generation of inquiry. In the first steps of this, I expound the emergence of inquiry from childhood curiosity. The original question about why appears within the home, in order to answer why the homeworld has particular meanings and how to navigate it practically. From this, I turn to the transformation of inquiry from within the curiosity of myth to philosophical wonder, as the latter breaks from relative truth and establishes theoretical science, the ideal of which is in determining the universal truth which is true, not just for those in this homeworld, but as true for everyone everywhere. As the instantiations of this ideal following from Greek philosophy tends to the objective pole, the correlation of the subject-world is left unquestioned. So, there arises a demand for the further inquiry of phenomenology, to which I turn next.
