  • This is definitely interesting but very broad -- is there any way you could unpack/develop this a bit more? (Any chance you could specify 'question' -- I would presume you mean a philosophical or critical question?) Perhaps you could also spell out why you have tagged this with "Socrates" and "scientific method"? Commented Nov 2, 2011 at 15:22
  • "Good" implies that the question is somehow valuable. Considering this is Philosophy.SE, is it safe to assume that you're asking about questions of philosophic value? If so, there aren't very many questions on most other stack exchange sites that are of much philosophic value. On a separate note, Polya's heuristics are, I think, generally intended to be useful for practical questions, but it's definitely interesting to apply them to deeper questions, I hand't thought of that before.

  • The best type of question, is to question the question-(? the ?). Commented Aug 14, 2021 at 2:02
