Abstract

This question is asked by Harry's father at the end of Lisa's first chapter. To make its point quite clear, Mister Stottlemeier gives this example to Harry: "Look, if you were finished with school and you weren't sure what you are going to do next, you'd be puzzled and you'd start asking questions. But if there's unemployment, then that's a problem and it's not just your problem." For a better understanding of this question about problems, I will briefly refer to John Dewey's approach, as stated in: Essays in Experimental Logic.
