Knowledge is Innate, Not Taught
Learning is depicted as a process of recollection rather than direct instruction, as illustrated by Socrates' method of engaging the slave boy through guided questioning. Instead of providing answers, Socrates facilitates the boy's own understanding by leading him to rediscover innate knowledge, suggesting that education is about uncovering what is already within rather than imparting new information. This approach emphasizes the significance of asking the right questions to provoke critical thinking and self-discovery.
