This week on Classical Et Cetera, we dive into the philosophy behind the Socratic Method and its relevance in teaching critical thinking through questions and dialogue. From the art of questioning and debate to using a real-world example, our conversation explores how this ancient approach fosters meaningful learning. We discuss its origins, its influence on education, and how it continues to shape the way we engage with ideas today. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the power of Socratic dialogue!

This week's Classical Et Cetera features a discussion on politics and civic engagement. From the common good approach in ethics to the philosophy of leadership in ancient Greek political thought, we have a pretty wide-ranging conversation!

Join us for an overall summary on how ancient political thought still informs today's discussions on ethics, leadership, and the common good.
