What is the Socratic Method?
from Mr. Michael's Walk Talks · host William C. Michael
In modern society, ignorance of the Socratic Method has led to two crises. First, fake classical education has used the name to falsely advertise their books and schools, giving parents a false sense that their children are receiving benefits they are not. Second, false dilemmas lead modern society into innumerable divisions which lead only to confusion, anger and, in some cases, violence. In this talk, Mr. Michael explains what the Socratic Method actually is, making it clear that it is NOT what the fake classical education programs advertise, and explaining how it can help us out of the modern errors that lead to vexation and prevent us from living as we should. +++ Don't just listen--please SHARE this video with Catholic friends and relatives and ACT on it.
