Paper Summary:

This paper reviews the idea that the Socratic method as demonstrated in the Meno is to education and communication what the scientific method is to science. According to this paper, the Socratic method comprises an approach and a means of proceeding in numerous situations. The method teaches teachers how to subtly direct and lead students; it provides a revolutionary means for approaching philosophical problems. Above all, it permits an attitude of awe and humility when confronting ultimate questions. On the other hand, the same method is the approach used by manipulators and individuals who wish to appear wise when they are devoid of insight.
