TED-Ed
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 he was an enemy of the state, accusing the philosopher of corrupting the youth and refusing to recognize their gods. But Socrates wasn’t feared for claiming to have all the answers, but rather, for asking too many questions. Erick Wilberding digs into the technique known as the Socratic Method.

What if I dont have any questions to ask?🙂
You should also mention that he annoyed a skeleton who was just trying to sell chicken in Ancient Greece.🥀
Not listening to TED talks is a great tool which will help improve your critical thinking.

Fantastic video! Clear, engaging, and packed with value from start to finish. 👏🎬
Amazing
He wasn’t the best for me
Solid content as always.
He was the Kevin Samuels of his day
I would love to have a conversation with Socrates about morality and
Nice explanation
😂😂😂
Critical thinking and pattern recognition are lost arts
"Nh id rage bait"
Critical thinking is rare in AI
Question everything! 🤘🏽😎
the fact that asking too many questions got him killed says everything about how people handle being wrong
I just realized the modern day Socrates is Vsauce
if questioning s your power, who are you without it?
Socrates is the toddler asking “why?”
Critical Listening???
Nah we all came to the comments
The good think about critical thinking is that you lose your friends 😅
So I'm the last
The Socrates meme, anyways I love ur videos ted!
good information.
I do this and suddenly it becomes a debate and even after 30 minutes of agreeing to my logic some people goes back to but I am still right , i don't know what am I doing wrong
Fantastic explanation, thank you!
Great tips, thanks for sharing!
if asking is your power, then who you are without it😭😭😭
People aren't judged by their answers, but by their questions…
The video explains critical thinking as a process rather than a natural talent. However, it mainly focuses on individual decision-making and does not fully discuss how social media, emotions, or cultural background can influence a person’s judgment. This makes the topic appear simpler than it is in real l
I really like when people even during casual conversations use this method. This is the best way to challenge both your and the other persons claims and understanding. Such questions transfer the discussion to a deeper and more complex level, where generic claims cannot remain unnoticed. This also helps to discovers the flaws in the thinking and improve! I believe it is impossible to be a critical thinker if you are not curious. This video perfectly explained how curiosity actually fosters critical thinking
I kinda know nothing, just like Socrates ✨
If everyone used critical thinking skills we would never see another T-rump, or Putin in a position of power again!
I would disagree that it is being used in the US courts or government for that matter.
"If critical thinking is your power, what are you within it"
– Socrates
😂😂😂
In other words, Soc, was the modern day bullshitter who couldn’t answer a simple question without posing a question as an answer
I know nothing just like Socrates.
