Socratic Inquiry

Group of people sitting around table for meeting.

Overview

The best ideas and thoughts are those that can withstand the tension of examination and scrutiny. Socratic Inquiry is a method that gives power to questions rather than answers. Socrates was a Greek philosopher that was in search of the truth. He answered questions with more questions. He believed that questions would lead us to the truth. Since we are not all philosophers in the work we do, we can’t leave everything with a question. So, Socratic Inquiry is a unique tool that is designed to provoke critical thinking and problem solving when groups get stuck.
