""Socratic Method And Critical Philosophy: Selected Essays"" is a collection of essays written by Leonard Nelson, a German philosopher who lived from 1882 to 1927. The book focuses on two main themes: the Socratic method and critical philosophy. The Socratic method is a teaching technique that involves asking questions to stimulate critical thinking and encourage the exploration of ideas. Nelson was a strong advocate of this method, and several of the essays in the book explore its history, its strengths and weaknesses, and its potential applications in various fields of study. The second theme of the book is critical philosophy, which is a philosophical approach that emphasizes the importance of rational inquiry and the questioning of assumptions. Nelson was also a proponent of this approach, and many of the essays in the book explore its implications for various philosophical and ethical issues. Overall, ""Socratic Method And Critical Philosophy: Selected Essays"" offers a comprehensive overview of Nelson's philosophical views and provides insights into the history and practice of the Socratic method and critical philosophy. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy, education, or critical thinking.This is a new release of the original 1949 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
