Question Answered
Core Question (Patton-Al-Zayadi-2021) is an attempt to answer the following question: What is core question? How should it be defined?
See Core Question for more details.
Description
The scientific mosaic consists of theories and questions. Questions form hierarchies in which more specific questions are subquestions of more general ones. Theories also enter into this hierarchy, since questions presuppose theories, and theories are answers to questions. The core questions of a discipline are those general questions that are essential to a discipline, having the power to define it and establish its boundaries within a hierarchy of questions and theories. They are identified as such in the discipline's delineating theory.
