Indeed, that is not the Socratic Method. Even though it's just an introductory aside, seeing such an inaccuracy straight in the second sentence about something which (I thought) is common knowledge put me off from reading the rest of the article.
- rendall 4y agoIt's a more accurate description of the Socratic Method than is asking leading questions until the student comes to the correct conclusion. In the Socratic Dialogues, Socrates repeats constantly that he does not know the answer, but that he and his interlocutor are together discovering the truth. That isn't trickery nor sophistry, so to speak. It's really the approach.
