The Risks to the Socratic Method

Gil: There are risks to the Socratic method. One risk is that you do end up talking about definitions and then you might forget why the discussion began in the first place. Gil: The questioner always has an advantage. It's easier to question than propose. Sometimes someone might come out as winning a dialogue when not being right. Stowe Conversations airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT, or check back next week for another episode.
