Public speaking skills of the professor are impressing. I like this piece of lecture

Socrates asking a simple question then more specific question based on an answer and another question and kept giving such questions untill a logical conclusion is archived by a person who is being asked

If we could get beyond the infantile internet stage of "know-it-all's", the world might benefit from true dialog.

Teaching the Socratic method using modern teaching techniques of just explaining concepts is the most retrogressive thing I've ever seen.

Well said, Sir. Now can you please teach this to Mr. Trump?

ā€œI know nothing except the fact of my own ignoranceā€. Amazing how much incite and the birth of new ideals and realizations can come to light by just asking questions.

This proffessor is awesome, making a boring topic interesting & fun, clearly a genius who is spreading his knowledge to inferior peasants. This man deserves a Nobel peace prize.

Good summary of the Socratic method. Ironically, if used properly towards a person of faith, they'd be left scratching their head as to why they believe what they do.

Most of the time we don’t know that we don’t know what we need to know. That’s why we are ignorant and even then we don’t know that we are ignorant and we are not looking for wisdom.

Socrates sells sea shells by the sea shore?

There is a certain delightful irony when a monologue is used to explain the Socratic method of learning. If Socrates was teaching on what a monologue is, would he have used questions?

@vanislescotty

Socrates was a Presbyterian I think 🤣

My method is socratic from birth.

Beautiful.

The question Sproul's chief critic, Dr. Greg Bahnsen asked was, "By what standard?" God's Law IS the standard of ALL things, not man. All of man's standards begin and end with man and therefore lead to destruction!

Socrates was a humanist, pagan like all other classical "apologists."
