The Socratic Method

This book will require me to ruminate further to let the ideas and methods sink in. Socratic thinking is definitely lacking in today's world. I myself fall guilty in breaking some of the rules of engagement listed and have some work to do. Some chapters were better than others, but the ones that really shined changed my view and perspective on the world quite drastically. The rules of engagement, finding principles and their implications, using an elenchus to have someone see their own inconsistencies, are some of the ideas I found the most helpful. It will take some time and review to increase my understanding and application in Socratic thinking, but this book has showed me the importance of doing so and the good that can come from it.
