Which best illustrate the Socrates method?
1 answer
The Socratic method is a form of inquiry and discussion between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and underlying presuppositions. It is a dialectical method, involving a discussion in which the defense of one point of view is questioned; one participant may lead another to contradict themselves in some way, thus strengthening the inquirer's point. Examples of the Socratic method include the use of irony, probing questions, and the "Socratic paradox".
