The Socratic Method Today
This exciting new textbook provides a sophisticated examination of the Socratic method for teaching political science students in higher education. It shows how the Socratic method is employed in the Platonic dialogs, compares its transformative approach to other student-centered teaching philosophies, and addresses the challenges of adopting the Socratic method in the contemporary classroom.
The book is divided into three sections that integrate these practical aspects on the Socratic method with the theoretical considerations of Socratic philosophy while also addressing contemporary concerns about teaching and learning in higher education.
- Section One explores how the Socratic method is portrayed by Socrates in Platos dialogs.
- Section Two compares the Socratic method with modern and contemporary accounts of teaching and learning.
- Section Three examines some of the contemporary challenges of practicing the Socratic method in the university classroom today and how teachers can overcome them.
Written in a clear and engaging style, this timely intervention is essential reading for upper undergraduate students enrolled in courses that specialize in pedagogical techniques, political theory, Socratic philosophy, and law.
Lee Trepanier is Professor of Political Science at Saginaw Valley State University, USA; editor of Lexington Books Politics, Literature, and Film series; and author and editor of numerous books, the latest being Why the Humanities Matter Today: In Defense of Liberal Education (2017).
This is a unique and important volume on the timeless Socratic Method and its importance to education. Its publication is timely, as many institutions of higher education are struggling to engage students in an active form of pedagogy. The essays in this volume are brilliant, insightful, and are sure to illuminate the path back to the timeless method pioneered by Socrates, the greatest teacher of liberal education who ever lived.

Lee Trepanier
There has been a renewed interest in pedagogy, teaching, and student learning in political science, with a focus on topics like flipping the classroom and active learning. Surprisingly absent in this discussion is the Socratic method, one of the oldest ways whereby teachers educate students. This book remedies this situation. It examines how the Socratic method is employed in the Platonic dialogs, how it is similar and different from contemporary pedagogical accounts, and how it can be adopted in todays classroom. Although aimed primarily for those in political science, this collection has broad appeal to anyone interested in the Socratic method.
When looking at previous works on the Socratic method, we encounter two types of books: 1) how-to manuals that are written for secondary school teachers; and 2) highly technical works of political philosophy where the Socratic method is secondary to the broader concerns of the authors. Examples of the first type are Nelsons Socratic Method and Critical Philosophy ; Gower and Stokes Socratic Questions ; Seeskins Dialogue and Discovery ; Nehamas The Art of Living ; Vallas Socratic Citizenship ; Eiseles Bitter Knowledge ; Jenks How Platos Theory of Truth Explains the Socratic Method ; Schlossers What Would Socrates Do? ; and Sebells The Socratic Turn .
