Talk:Socratic method

Correct definition of philosophy in Greek!!!

The word "philosophy" comes from the Ancient Greek (φιλοσοφία). It literally means the "love" (φῐ́λος) of "wisdom" (σοφός)!!!

Philosophy is also defined as love for wisdom!!! Philosopher is lover of wisdom!!! 143.0.230.154 18:00, 13 February 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.216.202.179 (talk)

"maieutic"

I tried to learn something about maieutic machines. However, the term redirected here. Yet, the article does not even use the term "maieutic". This is a bummer. 80.71.141.166 (talk) 09:32, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

The article must be expanded to include this term. See for example Maieutic at publication coach where it explains that direct instruction is insufficient in some cases: interaction with the teacher as in Socratic method is necessary. The Greek term refers to the process of assisting in childbirth. — Rgdboer (talk) 22:17, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

According to the reading, Socrates did not just give his students answers. Instead, he used a specific cycle of asking and answering questions. What is this method called, and what was its main purpose? ~2026-83978-5 (talk) 18:47, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
