Think about it!Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: this brings me back to when i did Philosophy @_@!.!.!. only for a year though hahaha!. fun stuff!.!. I think that by answering a question with another question, is to an Extent answering the question but also creating a new one at the same time!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com This I understand helps to get down to the heart of a matter during a philosophical debate!. It is normal!. I for instance can ask - what is truth!? Now, this question is already suggestive of the fact that there is truth in existence that if not put as – does truth exists at all!? But yet again I would not know if something exists if I do not know what that thing is!. Then there are situations that require of things to analyzed using some sort of approach involving step-down questioning - the proper name of which I do not know but I am sure there is one somewhere – in order to get to a single simplest possible premise for inquiry!. In most philosophical sense it can be said that each question is it own answer, first and foremost!. As soon as a question is phrased, put in word an pronounced it informs us of the existing of some matter of inquiry!. As for instance in the example I used above the question – what is truth, is already suggestive of the existence of something called truth, so that question – does truth exist, there would be a valid answer to the first question that obviously is a question too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com well you only answer a question with a question when you know the answer and you know they can work it out on their own so technically their getting their solution and you've helped them by allowing them to work it out on their own!. but at the same token why ask a question in the first place!? if you know you could find out yourself!? annoying isnt it haha =)Www@QuestionHome@Com It depends on the kind of question!. F ex an rhetorical question may include an answer!. !. And in Zen-Tradition, the "master" often answerer's in a kind of strange questions to break through the superficial conscious of the person who may be caught by the rational logical-system!. C!.Www@QuestionHome@Com You did receive an answer!. It may not be the information you sought, but you still received an answer!. Example: You!. God please let me win the lottery God: (silence) You!. Did you win the lottery!? If no, God answered!. His answer was no!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Straight thinking would mean No!.Because the question requires an answer and not a question!. On the other hand, it does especially where thinking is required!.Where you are required to fill up the puzzle!.So a clue is given, which comes back to no direct answer given!. Thanks fro askingWww@QuestionHome@Com well if some1 asks do u like cheese, and you answer yes!. do u like cheese, then yes u have answered it!. but if some1 says do u like cheese and they answer do u!.!. then no there not :):)Www@QuestionHome@Com jimmy carr said the worst thing to do at a job interview is to answer questions with a question!. if you answer with a question then they answer your question with a question can't it go on forever!?Www@QuestionHome@Com You have not answered the question as you are merely asking another question! To answer the question you would have to bring your thoughts to a conclusion and ANSWER!Www@QuestionHome@Com I think you may have answered it already, the underlying intention is 'think'!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Mmm!.!.not necessarily!. Sometimes you make your point and then ask a question within it and so it gets other people thinking so that there is debate!.Www@QuestionHome@Com no, it usually means that you expand the possibilities of the first question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com It aint nesessarily so, but it would take too long to explain!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Do you find it annoying !?Www@QuestionHome@Com yo if u dun know answer to questron jus say 81 it always da rit answerWww@QuestionHome@Com It depends man!Www@QuestionHome@Com Don't you think I have answered then!?Www@QuestionHome@Com That depends what the question wasWww@QuestionHome@Com why do you wanna know!?*grin* LOLWww@QuestionHome@Com What is your question!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Why would you ask that!?Www@QuestionHome@Com what was the question lolWww@QuestionHome@Com ofcause you trying to dodge the answer!Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes!.
