The Socratic Method

from Developing Classical Thinkers · host Developing Classical Thinkers

In this brief episode, we take a look at the Socratic Method. We look at how Benjamin Franklin used the Socratic Method in his own life, how Socrates asked questions of his interlocutors to encourage them to pursue truth, goodness, and beauty, and how the Socratic Method is used in the Classical classroom to help teach students how to think, not what to think.
