Erotetics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erotetics is a part of logic, devoted to logical analysis of questions.

The idea was originally developed by Richard Whately, who's work was popularized by Eugeniu Sperantia and then such philosophers like Arthur Prior or Nuel D. Belnap, Jr. were interested by this subject.
