Socratic dialogue

At Common Ground Common Sense (CGCS), we believe in the power of intelligent dialogue and reflection. Socratic discussion offers a unique method to deepen conversations and stimulate critical thinking. This helps organisations, teams and individuals develop new insights and engage in deep constructive conversations.

What is the socratic dialogue?

Socratic conversation is based on the method of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, who used questioning to encourage people to reflect on their own beliefs and assumptions. This conversational approach not only promotes uncovering deeper insights, but also encourages participants to look critically at their own thought processes.

The power of asking questions

Our approach to Socratic conversation focuses on asking open-ended questions that provoke reflection. This leads to a deeper understanding of issues and encourages the development of new perspectives. By exploring and reflecting together, participants can come up with innovative ideas and solutions.
