The Socratic Method.Fja1 wrote: ↑January 6th, 2022, 7:06 pm There's a name for this sort of term, but I've forgotten what it is. Socrates frequently interrogates his opponents, only to reveal a conflict in their thinking which they cannot solve. (I'm not talking about a paradox or an undecideable problem, as Socrates' goal is only to reveal that the problem is not as straightforward as initially believed, rather than to solve the problem.)
