Description:

Explore the technique known as the Socratic Method;which uses questions to examine a person’s values;principles;and beliefs. -- Socrates;one of the founding fathers of Western philosophical thought;was on trial. Many believed he was an enemy of the state;accusing the philosopher of corrupting the youth and refusing to recognize their gods. But Socrates wasn’t feared for claiming to have all the answers;but rather;for asking too many questions. Erick Wilberding digs into the technique known as the Socratic Method. Lesson by Erick Wilberding;directed by Draško Ivezić.
