The exercise of thinking must start from a point of problem. For that, the problem must be recognised and defined. And it means that we should present the problem as something new that is still unknown and undefined. Something that needs to be determined by some sort of knowledge power, in an exercise of thinking led by our conscious mind. As the problem is determined, its nature changes. The exercise of thinking transforms what was a problem into a question. From then on, we’ll need to answer that question.
