metafrågas

Metafrågas is a fictional concept that describes a recursive or self-referential questioning process. In essence, it refers to the act of asking questions about the nature, validity, or underlying assumptions of other questions. It explores the meta-level of inquiry, moving beyond the initial subject matter to examine the framework of the inquiry itself.

The term suggests a doubling of the questioning act. One might ask a question about a topic, and then metafrågas would be the act of questioning *why* that question was asked, *what* assumptions it makes, or *what* its intended outcome is. This can be applied in various contexts, from philosophical debates and critical thinking exercises to problem-solving methodologies and even creative writing.

The purpose of metafrågas can be to deepen understanding, identify biases, refine the scope of an investigation, or uncover new avenues of exploration. By stepping back and scrutinizing the questions themselves, one can gain a more comprehensive perspective on the information being sought or the problem being addressed. It encourages a critical examination of the very tools of inquiry, promoting a more rigorous and insightful approach to knowledge acquisition and problem-solving. The concept is not a formally recognized academic term but rather a descriptive label for a specific type of reflexive thought process.
