Stoa Conversations: Stoicism Applied
The Socratic Method in the Early Dialogues
Socrates is always forcing his interlocutors to clarify. The Socratic method in the early dialogues ends up in this state of ignorance where they say, "I don't know what it means to help somebody" It's not reductio ad absurdum - a argumentative technique where you show that a position leads to an absurd conclusion or an impossible conclusion. Early Socrates saw the goal of that as leaving people in a position of wonder and leave the conversation more confused than before.
