Asking the right question

Another thought came to mind this morning, as I was reading.  A statement was made about Duns Scotus and a particular question that he asked in regards to original sin and the necessity of the incarnation. Without going into that speculation, it struck me that even the way we ask questions should be questioned. Again, my thinking has so be influenced by the West, scholasticism and academia that this observation probably deserves some serious consideration.
It occurred to me that the easiest way to correct this, without an overwhelming amount of introspection, is simply to start paying attention to how and what kind of questions the early church fathers asked.  The next step would be to apply their methodology to my current day.
