Socratic Method Basis

Socratic Method Basis explores the enduring power of Socrates' method of questioning, a cornerstone of critical thinking and philosophical inquiry. The book argues that this method, far from being a simple exchange, is a structured process designed to expose inconsistencies and guide individuals towards deeper understanding. Intriguingly, Socrates' approach involves elements of irony and intellectual midwifery, challenging assumptions and fostering self-awareness.

The book begins by setting the stage in ancient Athens, examining the cultural emphasis on argumentation that shaped Socrates' original approach. It then dissects core components like elenchus (cross-examination) and maieutics, using dialogues from Plato's Euthyphro, Meno, and Republic to demonstrate the method in action.

Furthermore, the book investigates ethical and epistemological implications, and also explores how techniques of cross examination are used today in fields like law, education, and business negotiations.
