Abstract This article offers a nuanced account of Socratic teaching and Socratic method. It discusses Socrates' reasons for disclaiming being a teacher and denying that anyone ever learned from him. It mentions some instances of Socrates' profession of ignorance and suggests that the teaching profession played a strategic role that has led some scholars to doubt Socrates' sincerity. It analyses three Platonic versions of Socratic philosophizing and identifies modern applications of the Socratic method of teaching.

Philosophers’ conceptions of the Socratic Method are many and various; they can be seen on a spectrum from a minimalist conception that takes only the most basic elements from Socrates to others that emulate his teaching much more precisely. The warning of the danger of teaching philosophy is equally old and well known. It would, therefore, seem an easy case to make that philosophy has a long and glorious history of doing the scholarship of teaching and learning. An unstated assumption about the central goal of the Socratic Method seems to run through the descriptions of the Method in these articles. Thinking of our teaching in these traditional Socratic terms can hide better uses of the Socratic Method. Thinking within the traditional model, the faculty member ignores the role that students can play for each other.

The article discusses a seldom investigated problem of Socrates’s influence on Augustine’s intellectual development. It is shown that Augustine started with an intense use of the Socratic method utilizing its elenctic and maieutic questioning to expose the truth hidden in the soul. Also, just as the Socratic method led to ontological developments in Plato and Plotinus, it led Augustine to the development of his Christian ontology.

Descartes once emphatically stated: "I have a habit to study no other thing more than the observed simplest truths that are innate in our minds, which when they are pointed to anyone, he does not think he was ever ignorant of them" (7.464). 1 It can be disputed whether it really was always his goal to find truths in innate ideas, but certainly his goal was to find scientific and philosophical truth and he found it eventually in himself, in innate ideas, but not of himself, since these ideas were not truly his, because they were given to him.

This chapter contains a brief patient manual for the Socratic method. This can be used either for self-help purposes or to enhance work that is being done with a therapist. The focus of this chapter is on teaching the key principles from this book in a quick and easily understandable manner. The Self-Socratic Method is a method for mentally taking a step back and learning to examine your thoughts and behaviors using Socratic strategies. Individuals are taught the following: how to choose which thoughts to focus on; how to come to better understand the context in which that thought developed; how to expand their perspective through the use of curiosity and scientific thinking; and finally how to pull all the steps together to develop and foster new perspectives that will help people overcome the barriers in their lives.
