Socratic Elenchu is a Greek term used to describe the dialectical method of questioning that Socrates used to examine knowledge, beliefs, and assumptions. This method involves asking a series of questions to arrive at a clearer understanding of a particular concept or idea. There are several synonyms for the term, including the Socratic method, the Socratic dialogue, and the dialectical method. These terms are often used interchangeably to describe the same process of inquiry. The Socratic Elenchu is still widely used today in education and philosophy, as it is an effective way to promote critical thinking and challenge assumptions.
