Philosophy

If the aim of the philosopher is not getting the right answers but to ask the right questions, how then can we hope to gain any further knowledge of the universe? Because questions in philosophy can only lead to scepticism or more questions, what if anything is the point in progressing philosophically if we may never find meaningful or truthful conclusions?

I think the anwers are pretty important, too. But in order to find them, you first have to get the question right.
