as the Socratic dialectic. Socrates’ dialectic technique‚ its aim and its method will be examined in this paper. The Apology of Socrates’ by Plato‚ will be used as a case study to illustrate key points. Upon hearing the Oracle’s answer that no one is wiser than him‚ Socrates found the literal interpretation difficult to comprehend.

Socratic conversation—discussing this in the style of philosophers with hypothetical conversations and monologues. As we drive away from the Jacque Fresco lecture that I made my father‚ an evolutionary scientist‚ attend‚ he frowns and squints through the rain‚ preparing to say something but never saying it.
