| Socrates would stop Athenians in the marketplace and ask them questions such as, "what is virtue?". When they declared their view, he would question them on it until their certainty crumbled.
"You wind up in a puzzle," said philosopher Daniel Hutto, the head of the School of Liberal Arts at the University of Wollongong, of the so-called Socratic method. "You learn that you didn't know as much about the topic as you thought you did in the beginning."
As director of the school's Western civilisation program, Professor Hutto will on Monday play Socrates to almost 40 students, the first to begin the university's controversial Ramsay Centre-funded course.
