The art of asking questions too dangerous to leave to answers.
means The disciplined study of fundamental questions about knowledge, existence, ethics, and reason — usually pursued through argument rather than experiment.
from From Greek 'philosophia,' a compound of 'philos' (loving) and 'sophia' (wisdom) — literally 'the love of wisdom.' The story goes that Pythagoras coined it to describe himself modestly: not a wise man (sophos), just a lover of wisdom, someone chasing it without ever quite catching it.
