Correct Answer - Option 4 : Question‐Answer Method

Socrates was born in Athens in 469 and lived over a span of seventy years filling entirely the second half of the fifth century B.C Athens’ cultural life. He died at the age of 70 in 399.

SOCRATIC METHOD 

  • The Socratic method was derived from the Greek philosopher, Socrates.
  • Socrates insisted that personal investigations and reasoned arguments alone could constitute a proper basis for answering questions about the universality of knowledge as well as the universality of moral and political laws.
  • In Socrates’ case, this personal investigations and reasoned arguments assume a conversational form i.e., a form of dialogue.
  • This dialogue, however, was limited to ethical subject-matter alone, therefore it included justice, virtue, knowledge, temperance etc. The principal aim of such a dialogue was to know his own self.
  • He called it the method of “elenchus,” the Greek for ‘putting to the test’ or ‘refutation.
  • This dialogue consisted of skillfully questioning others who claim to be wise men and drawing out their views with regards to virtue, justice, and so on.
  • The objective of such dialogue was to show the inadequacies of their views which would, in turn, reveal that those who claimed to know really did not know.
  • Hence, from the above points, it is clear that the Socratic method is known as Question‐Answer Method.
