Father Brown laid down his cigar and said
carefully, ‘It isn’t that they can’t see the solution.
It is that they can’t see the problem.’
G. K. Chesterton

Most problems people face cannot be specified with
such exactness. And often people do not simply
face
given problems; their task is to
make
a problem,
to
find
one in the inchoate situation they face.
Robert Nozick

Many PhD students from countries
or disciplines with more
empiricist approaches, or placing more emphasis on intellectual
or social consensus, find the idea of problematizing their thesis
topic difficult and odd. They often
regard their chosen topic
as obviously worthy of study or intrinsically interesting and
important in common-sense terms alone. They see no puzzle or
enigma in front of them, merely an empirical landscape only
