| 8226 | A well-posed problem is a problem solved |
| Full Idea: Bergson said that a well-posed problem was a problem solved | |||
| From: report of Henri Bergson (works [1910]) by G Deleuze / F Guattari - What is Philosophy? 1.3 | |||
| A reaction: This is fairly well in tune with the logical positivist style of philosophising, which tends to ask "what exactly is the question?" rather more than it asks "what is the answer?". I thoroughly approve of both of them (e.g. on free will). |
