This will be a talk at the London Philosophy and the Formal Sciences Seminar on 28 February.

Abstract: I consider inquiry in mathematics and suggest that it supports an account of inquiry as concerned with epistemic improvement. I further argue that two norms of inquiry; that we should regard the questions we inquire into as sound and we should not know their answers, are incorrect (at least for some kinds of inquiry).
