“These two units go especially well together. The Socratic Method introduces students to the question of human evil and Socrates’ teaching on unwilling mistakes. The Daily Dilemma presents an interesting challenge to Socrates’ teaching and allows students the opportunity to dig deeper into the dilemma of willing versus unwilling mistakes. Furthermore, the questions in the Daily Dilemma ask students to engage in critical thinking – encouraging them to develop arguments using the facts in the case over mere expression of opinion. This ties into The Socratic Method where I explain the difference between truth and opinion.” |
