Following a common assumption, when one inquires into a question, one has an inquisitive attitude towards it. More precisely, I shall assume that there is an inquisitive attitude towards Q that all of those who inquire into Q have in common and in virtue of which they can be said to be in an inquisitive state of mind towards Q. This paper is about the nature of this attitude. I elucidate it by examining whether it boils down to doubt, curiosity, epistemic desire, or wondering. I shall do this by examining whether having these attitudes is necessary and sufficient for being in an inquisitive state of mind. The test will prove negative for the first three, but the case of wondering is more complex.

拥有好奇的态度是什么？


遵循一个常见的假设，当一个人探究一个问题时，就会对此抱有一种好奇的态度。更准确地说，我假设对Q有一种好奇的态度，这是所有探究Q的人所共有的，并且凭借这种态度，他们可以说对Q处于一种好奇的心态。这篇论文是关于这种态度的本质。我通过检查它是否归结为怀疑、好奇、认知欲望或疑惑来阐明它。我将通过检查拥有这些态度对于处于好奇心状态是否是必要和充分的来做到这一点。前三个测试结果均为阴性，但想知道的情况更为复杂。
