Asking questions is one of the oldest human ways of gaining knowledge, dating back to Plato and the Socratic method, the Talmud (see the similarly titled sidebar, nearby), and the distant past when humans first made efforts to understand themselves, life, and the world It is one of the best techniques for learning Asking the right questions is essential to any serious research effort

Socrates was a fifth-century BCE Athenian philosopher who was sentenced to death by drinking hemlock in 399 for advocating seeking the truth and (supposedly) corrupting the youth of Athens Socrates left no written record, and his teachings were recorded after the fact, most famously in The Apology by Plato, a student of Socrates In The Apology, which concerns the trial and death of Socrates, Plato wrote that Socrates employed a method of learning that consisted of repeated questioning often until the person being questioned reached a contradiction, thus proving a fallacy in the original position taken The questioner never takes a side, and, as Socrates put it, the wise man is the man who knows he knows nothing Ultimately, the terms Socratic reasoning and Socratic method have come to identify a dialectical method of finding the truth by modifying one s position through repeated questioning of those with different ideas Plato s early career as a philosophic writer primarily focused on the dialectic techniques he learned as a student of Socrates Although Plato s later work continued to discuss the ideas originated by Socrates, Plato also explored a diverse range of subjects from the ideal form of government (in The Republic) to questions of ontology how we know what we know and the nature of reality The Talmud is a vast written record of rabbinical discussions of Jewish laws, ethics, customs, legends, and more It is also an extension, parallel commentary, and gloss on the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) Taken as a whole, the Talmud is the basis for all subsequent codes of Jewish law Many people, both Jewish and non-Jewish, consider the Talmud a source of inspiration and moral instruction I could say great deal more about Socrates, Plato, and the Talmud The next time you have some spare time, I suggest you conduct a search on Google for each term in order to learn about these great sources for understanding human reasoning and methodologies

However, questioning is not the only structure for receiving information (I explain hierarchic, or categorized, approaches and taxonomies in 11) Indeed, in some contexts, questioning is frowned upon and information is only considered valid if it is organized hierarchically As a researcher, the ability to ask questions (and get reasonable answers) provides control If you can t ask the questions, then you don t control the resulting information it controls you When you re feeling overwhelmed by a research topic, remember that you can always rely on a standard set of questions (see 3 for more about finding the best questions to ask) to help you get a handle on the topic, or at the very least, an avenue of inquiry to help narrow the topic down

In many cases, searching hierarchically is actually easier than asking questions The difference is like the difference between an index and a table of contents in a book With a good index, you can look up any phrase or word you like (just as you can search for any word or phrase using Google) You don t have as much freedom using the table of contents, but you do have an organized structure that may help you find what you re looking for because it provides a context So, when do you use hierarchical research (by browsing through the categories in a directory) and when do you use the question method (by searching for a word or phrase) Well, the reality is that nothing is ever that cut-and-dried The most skilled researchers use a seamless combination of the two methods In fact, sometimes the hierarchical method is the only way to go if you need to develop some research questions about a topic Ask yourself the questions in Table 10-1 to determine what you should do next
