I was never using the Socratic method. I was asking rhetorical questions, and then gave the (my) answer at the end.
We just have different opinions about what it means to have a book. I think that having a copy of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is more like having a copy of "Pride and Prejudice", than having no book at all is like having a copy of that book. You disagree and that's fine.
- fluoridation 2mo agoAsking rhetorical questions as a form of argumentation is the Socratic method.
- margalabargala 2mo agoIf one is using the Socratic method, rhetorical questions are one tool they might employ. The reverse is not true. Just because someone asks a rhetorical question, does not mean they are using the Socratic method.
