This tool will help you improve your critical thinking – Erick Wilberding

Explore the technique known as the Socratic method, which uses questions to examine a person's values, principles and beliefs.

—

Socrates, one of the founding fathers of Western philosophical thought, was on trial. Many believed him to be an enemy of the state, accusing the philosopher of corrupting the youth and refusing to recognize their gods. But Socrates was feared not because he claimed to have all the answers, but rather because he asked too many questions. Erick Wilberding delves deeper into the technique known as the Socratic method.
