Questioning with a Purpose

When employing the Socratic Method you enter into a conversation or discussion with another person. It’s a process in which each individual assists the other in finding answers to relevant questions. Socrates taught in this manner, because, despite his many claims of ignorance, he understood better than those with whom he spoke, that it was not enough to simply gather or learn facts or intellectual data. He taught that to truly know to seek insight you must work towards understanding. If the question “What?” leads us to realize what the prospect needs intellectual information concerning what we do or do not know, then the question “Why?” leads us to understand our prospect’s world in a more full and fundamental manner.

Questioning “Why”, allows us to experience on a more personal basis the cause of the “What” (i.e. pain). Also, the prospect’s ability and willingness to articulate the “Why” of his situation increases to a greater degree his understanding of just What is driving his need to act.

This discussion method facilitates the prospect’s quest for assistance, since you are requiring them to acknowledge issues on their own. It forces them to consider the value of what you may have to offer, and gives them their own reasons for supporting their opinion.

What Are the Tools for Discovering Truth and Cause

From our experience, we find this method of dialogue is a powerful tool and effective means by which adults learn. It is best utilized and most efficient when we develop a list of the questions to ask, and prepare for discussion with follow up questions and subsequent reversals. Through this process each party is challenged to think and search for truth and cause together.

The value of this process is that in finding the limits of our knowledge, we not only discover our ignorance, but we learn more about what little we already know. In his quest to understand the mysteries of the universe, Albert Einstein may have said it best, “The important thing is not to stop questioning.”
