Sztuka pytania – pytania sztuki

To live actively and courageously is to unceasingly ask questions. Each authentic question is an open question. Openness of what we are asking about comes from the answer not being presupposed. Such openness cannot be attributed to the pedagogical question, that is, a question which is given to a student, in expectation of a pre-determined answer. An upbringing understood as education through dialogue and education for dialogue treats open questions as being of a far greater value. Such open questions have always been posed by art. The openness comes from ambiguity which characterises all true works of art. It leads to different interpretations and evaluations. While the pedagogical questions serve only to reproduce knowledge, open questions posed by art lead to the discovery and co-creation of knowledge.
