Aporetic

The aporetic ( Greek: aporētikē , “inclined to doubt”) describes the confrontation with difficult or unsolvable philosophical questions and problems. In particular, aporetic is the art of examining and thinking through problems as such without regard to their possible solvability or unsolvability. An aporetician is a philosopher who practices the art of aporeticism.

In scholasticism , the aporetic method found its way into the scholastic philosophy of the Middle Ages as the quaestio method .
