How many questions does a person need?

Philosophy for Communities - ask questions, make connections, explore ideas. These days (and there's been about ten years of these days, more or less) philosophical enquiry is at the core of what I do. Bringing groups of people together to look and think and talk and write and ask questions.

I facilitate philosophical enquiry in galleries and pubs and museums and workplaces and meeting rooms. There was one in a barn this summer. (I'd happily do it outside, but it can be difficult for people to hear each other well.) And I use aspects of the method with my family and in my part time job and in chance conversations at the bus stop and inside my head. All the time really.

"That's a good question..." is a thing that quite often gets said to me.

Over the years of facilitating enquiry sessions, I've asked hundreds of groups of people to come up with a question. I've learned and developed ways of supporting people to ask chewy, inspiring and rich-in-potential-for-discussion questions. And because I love my work (and also perhaps because I'm not very good at admin) I've built up quite a collection of pieces of paper and post it notes and index cards and zoom call chat notes of questions.

Questions like:

• why does difference make a difference?

• does choice free us?

• what does it mean to be alone?

• is it possible to pass on experience?

• why do humans think they can own things?

Over the summer I've been making a big list of all of the questions in my collection - and now I'm trying to work out what to do with them.

Any ideas?
