![What is ‘The Socratic Method’? [Illustrated]](/img/n.gif)
Can you imagine being so profoundly influential that your legacy still thrives thousands of years later _without_ authoring anything that showcases your philosophies?
Thanks to Plato.
Jesus of Nazareth.
The Prophets Muhammad, Jesus, Moses and Abraham - all much wiser and more humble than Socrates
@@asimpleuser What led to your conclusions that the prophets you mentioned would be much more humble than Socrates?
@@user-fl7zn2tn9q All prophets placed their forehead on the ground and prayed to the creator.
Rest in peace Socrates, Socratica stuff make you live today.
THIS IS AMAZING! You helped me so much in my work!
*Socrates. Put to death for corrupting the youth of Athens. Our hero*.
Socrates is considered one of the *founders of Western Philosophy*, and the inventor of the *Socratic Method* which is still widely used in classrooms today. He's something of a mystery, though, because what we know of him comes from second-hand accounts. What?! It's true, *the great teacher left behind no writings of his own*.

***** Funny you should mention that! czcams.com/video/809bdDKp1BA/video.html
Good to know! I stand corrected.

This is an excellent summary and brief explanation of Socrates. I will use it in my philosophy course!
Okay Braveheart.
He was against books, or writing, because he thought they would dumb people down, similar to how people of today are against google. You don't need to know everything 100% of the time if you can just look it up when you need it.
“For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them."
I disagree with his hatred of books, and how he explained it, but i do not agree, because there is another solution:
the point of what he was trying to say, was that books can be stretched out and have unnecessary words, filler, obscuring the truth as opposed to straight out lying.
He only wanted people to talk, as opposed to write, because then no one has the time to listen to someone who has filler, obscuring the truth, etc.
Good quote/point! I just realised why 95% today are sheeps who are dumb as a door a little hard said. Because they fell into this exactly trap to be "lead" by people both writers and politicians and so on - blindly, and their ability to think abstract and clear have become rusten/rusty at least. I know it because my brain also was "rusten" to a degree that I was just as dumb as everyone else more or less as young/kid. Being lead around with a sheep or a elephant in the circus blindly following the heard. ( bandwagon, lemming-effect )
The positive about writing/books is it let us compound our knowledge! Without writing/records we would still live in the middle age/pre middle age. So he was right, but gladly the writing of books also have a bright side for those who live to read and learn! We automatically become one of the 1-5% elite in the society if we want to.
He was not against books
Dumb PPL down ? Lmao what?? And what against Google?
If it's helpful search it up but don't substitute that for your understand
That's it?
I suspect a better introduction to Socrates will not be easy to find. And so the door to a potentially, difficult subject has been opened. Thank you, Ma'am.
Thank you for posting....
Most excellent and informative dialogue.... and well orated.....
Found a great channel, very precise and clear explanation, she is beautiful and has good presentation skills.. I'm gonna learn a lot from her :)
wow! I'm So glad i've found this.
Great work really appreciate this
Great video!
Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up ❗👍👏👍👏👍
Thanks a lot, this video helped me with my homework.
Thank you kindly for making this informative and well-research video.
Adeel Khan Do you believe you live on a spinning ball?
great vid learned a lot
Thanks a lot, this was very helpful
Your channel is great! Please put more videos about philosophy. I like your voice.
He was my dad at age seven..I had an obsession with Socrates...and the notion that I could channel him in the dead and gain wisdom ...my father never taught me about him even though I had learned of him at the age of seven in his library. I have just created a theatrical video about him today...He is still my dad...and he is still the person that I admire..
Sweet 🤍 Sometimes we look up to people other than our family members and that's okay.
Ever since Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, I always internally pronouce - at first - his name as So-Crates.
hahhaa same.
😄
Very nice presentation ,,, thank you....
This is beautiful ❤️
Amazing .
Beautiful!
Thanks for that so i can finish my history project
Thank you so much.
Swindler? Maybe that's how he provokes his students to think deeper and a way of expressing his sense of humor as an escape from such a sophisticated mind.
Wonderful.
Nice presentation 👍👍👍
@Socratica Can you make more videos like that? Especially about oriental philosophers.
Awesome
You forgot to mention that he single handedly fought in the Peloponesian war very bravely rescuing his squad from certain death ~ The surviving warriors held him in great esteem after that for the rest of their lives ~ He outlived them all !
Thank you 😊

The 3 Laws Of Logic are amazing. I explained the Law Of Identity to one guy on my local website and it took 3 tries before he got it.
Hi.. That would be very helpful also if you could publish the transcript of these videos.

thank you
You make great videos...Madam your viewers want to see your videos with english subtitles...
love your hair
What I do not know, I do not THINK I know. 🙌
what is the name of that pretty lady giving these mini-lectures? she is great. i would have loved to have her be my teacher during my student days. in any case, i hope that she goes on to give lectures on many other philosophers, not only the Big Three (Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle) which she has already done, but also on some of the others, such as Baruch Spinoza, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, David Hume, Adam Smith, Edmund Burke, John Stuart Mill, and Bertrand Russell. she might also consider giving such talks on some of Shakespeare's most important plays, such as the Big Seven (Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, MacBeth, and Anthony and Cleopatra)
Your vid helped on a whole page essay
Thanks!
Goodness, thank you for your kind support! 💜🦉
Can you please suggest any book to understand socrates
That was great
Thanks
You're actually a dope speaker,
Dope speaker ?

Socratica you are so beautyful and Smart
Thanks for the like

woah.. parker possey knows a lot.
7 years old video but new technology feild editing very nice 👍
Mam please one episode on popper Thinker.
I never realised I use socratic method everyday when having a conversation with my friends... I usually observe and judge my friends talking whether it's about themselves or other topics internally/quietly but I'm also aware of myself and judge myself and see my flaws. Not saying I'm judgemental, maybe I am but only in my mind. That doesn't means I always give them a negative judgement everytime we're talking though.
So interesting! We've heard that it's a good tip for deeper conversations, to ask someone questions about what they're interested in, rather than just wait for your chance to talk about what you're interested in.
@@Socratica so true
The Love of Wisdom. :)
Born in an illiterate family, never studied, no source of his wisdom but he was wisest in the country. Socrates participation in military campaigns holds the key. Socrates must have met many people who were influenced by Buddhas teaching because at that time India was under Persian empire.

Socrates was NOT a teacher. He specifically rejected that characterization (at his trial). He held no symposia, had no fixed group of of listeners. Plato (who DID hold classes) pointedly avoided describing S. as his teacher or memtor, but only as his 'friend'
Liliana de Castro....😍
Is Socrates SO(society)CRATES(rule) a character in Plato's plays? The new testament was written in Greek. They have more in common than not.
“Socrates took up the occupation he was best know for, teaching”
Socrates would spit out his drink and slap Meno across the face if he heard such a line
Agree, he was not a teacher.
Similarly Alexander "The Great"
Son of Philip one eye. Who was also
Known as "the great"
Nice mam
can't stop myself looking at her..
forget "attention"
I am here, Socrates, the Greek.
I knew that you thought of me and I was attracted by your thought. If such spirit is in rapport with you or has a similar soul quality; the soul condition is the great medium of attraction.
I have been with you before, and there is a rapport growing out of your soul qualities. I am now a believer in the Christian doctrine of the soul’s immortality, and in the teachings of Jesus as to the way to obtain the Divine Love of the Father, as you are, and, hence, our qualities of soul are similar.
I am now a follower of the Master and believe in his Divine mission on earth, although he had not come to earth when I lived. After I became a spirit I realized my belief in the continuity of life after death, and lived in the spirit world a great many years after Jesus came before I learned and believed his larger truth of immortality.
Of course, when I taught I had only a hope which was almost a certainty that I should continue to live through all eternity, but I had no other foundation for that belief than the deductions from my reasoning powers and the observations of the workings of nature.
I had heard of the visitations of the spirits of the departed, but had never had any personal experiences in that direction, but I readily believed it to be true.
My conviction of the truth of a future continuance was so strong that it amounted to a certainty, and hence when I died, I comforted Plato and my other friends and disciples, by telling them that they must not say that Socrates will die but rather that his body will die; his soul will live forever in fields Elysian. They believed me, and Plato afterwards enlarged on my belief.
And Socrates did not die, but as soon as his breath left the body, which was not very painful even though the fatal hemlock did its work sure and quickly, he went into the spirit world a living entity, full of the happiness that the realizations of his beliefs gave him.
My entrance into the spirit world was not a dark one, but full of light and happiness, for I was met by some of my disciples who had passed over before me and who had progressed very much in the intellectual development. I then thought that my place of reception was the heaven of good spirits, for there were good spirits to meet me and carry me to my home. I was then possessed of what I thought that I was in the home of the blessed; and I continued…

It is interesting
Love from India.
i really like Socrates
he died for his beliefs 🙏
Is this channel named after him?🤔
When I think of this guy, Bill and Ted comes to mind So-Crates Johnson :-D
Te amo mi amooor
I wonder if Socrates actually was an atheist
By the nature of his philosophy I would assume he was a very agnosic one
An intriguing question! Wow, if people were annoyed with him as he was, imagine if he went around saying he was an atheist! :)
you need to read more about Socrates. and Plato. and only then you will understand that a wise man, can never be an atheist.
That's a very western oriented viewpoint, you have there.
@@akisdrosi2011 That's a very strong yet inaccurate claim.
when we studied about socrates .he beliaves I am like a horse fly and I should bite people like horse fly for other animal to improve and remember and forget about lazy...
It should also be noted that he actually was offered to simply apologize or go into exile wich he both declined. I can understand why he didnt apologized but exile is another thing that, in my opinion, wouldve been a valid option. By going into exile he wouldnt have done any damage or injustice to his call to speak the truth and to teach etc...
Abara Plato's Crito provides Socrates' reasons for staying in his cell.
Thanks! Have to look that up then =)
I was hoping Liliana would wear a toga.
A bit like what Feynman left on his black board, "What I cannot create, I do not understand".
yes yes
I've traveled a lot. Said Epicure.
what a lad
Imagine if he wrote something down🤯🤯
Yeah, so he was accomplished as a mason
And as a warrior. By a physical
Account of himself he won.
This would be his spiritual stage or ethos.
I know that I don't know anything about the speaker. And that's all I know.
Now I know her name is Liliana and speaks 4 languages (compreso l'italiano!)...
Now I know... Liliana Rezende de Castro (born 29 June 1979) is an Ecuadorian-born Brazilian actress. She was born in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, due to her father's job as a diplomat. Her family also lived in Italy and Venezuela, before relocating to Brazil. She began acting at ten years old and, realizing that it was her true passion, graduated in theatre. Her first professional acting role came in 1999 in the play As Fúrias.

A single hint., actually it was thales of miletus who was known the first philosopher and mathematician, ived from 624 to 546 BC. on seeing your first video (it was good actually) i thought pythagoras will be your second video., but why socrates not the pythogras ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Yaa he was a gret man in this country
oh now i get it why our prof. asks unlimited questions. shes using socratic method 😂
😁👍🏼
You look like my Greek friend. I have a photo of Socrates' bust.
Socrates as a "founder" of Greek philosophy? Aristophanes is mentioned in this talk but how does somebody miss that Aristophanes called Socrates "Sparta-mad"? Why was Socrates barefoot? Why did he only wear one coat? In the Protagoras, Socrates lays out that "[Doric] Crete and Sparta are the most ancient and fertile home of Greek philosophy". Everybody misses that! Socrates's is an imitator, disciple and adherent to Doric philosophy. So was Pythagoras. It is laid out in this book, "Part I, The Case of the Barefoot Socrates" www.academia.edu/7574633/Part_I_The_Case_of_the_Barefoot_Socrates Socrates was imitating the Spartans in all things. When one sees Socrates, one sees a Spartiate. Even Plato called to follow the Spartans! How is this missed?
Puthagoras is even older than Sparta maybe 600BC, where did you see that about Pythagoraa
@@innosanto Sparta was inhabited by Doric Greeks. It is the Doirc Greeks that created philosophy--why don't you read the link? The Doric Greeks are a nation that existed for a long time. Pythagoras was a Doric Greek. Sparta was founded when the Doric Greeks invaded from the north around 1200 BC when the Dorians destroyed the Mycenean civilization. And why don't you read the Protagoras yourself,
Socrates: "Beware, youth, thots be unloyal! Begone, men, and have jolly good time"
Youth: "Thou speak thy truth, we shall have orgies galore!"
Establishment: "For thee cursed ye be, Socrates spoke about thots! Thee is onto the truth! Silence the damn heathen!"
Amen!
ὁ δὲ ἀνεξέταστος βίος οὐ βιωτὸς ἀνθρώπῳ
maybe
Is there any substance to the notion that Socrates was schizophrenic? Also this day 2415 years ago was his sentencing :( RIP
Did Socrates say scientifically or paraphrase that by all means marry. If you get a good wife you become a mathematician and if you get a bad one a philosopher? Is there even anecdotal evidence
There is no scientific or historical evidence to suggest that Socrates made the statement about marrying a good or bad wife leading to becoming a mathematician or a philosopher. This quote is often attributed to him, but it's more likely a paraphrase or interpretation of his philosophy rather than a direct quote from his writings or teachings.
ChatGPT ♥️🌹🌹♥️
Funny thing is that due to modern sensibilities, probably nobody would actually like Socrates if they could meet him.
@S Mavi Oh he would be a bigger villain today than he was in Athens. I doubt many people would be hailing him a genius.
Oh he wouldn't be put to death, but his social media platforms, teaching position, and job, will
@@Fear_the_Nog 100% accurate
Questions... a dangerous hobby - perhaps that's why it's both unfashionable and frowned upon these days... perhaps.
Using the Socratic Method would annoy anyone.
