- (This page has a lot of overlap with 03. Manifesto - “Why I Should Learn the Socratic Method”, but the aim is to make it more systematic and thorough, rather than a top-of-mind brain dump)
- Ok, so we saw in 06. Learning the Socratic method, part 1 → the rationale why it’s profound
- Cure you delusions of wisdom! (Double ignorance)
- Improve your thinking!
- Root out the commonplace!
- So, now what? What do I do?
- The technique(s)
- Aporia (one of the key aims/end-goals)
- The elenchus (one of the key techniques)
- Epagoge
- Moves (to use whilst doing “the technique”)
- The use of concrete examples and analogies
- Collection and division
- “The Socratic Function”
- There’s a chapter about this! I might already have grokked it whilst writing the other pages
- Adversarial thinking
