The Socratic “laieutic” and Its Application in Philosophical Education

The “maieutic” (midwifery) of the Socratic method has always been advocated. But we are accustomed to concentrate our attention on the knowledge or truth brought by this method， and forget that the essence of midwifery is the soul or spirit. The intrinsic nature of the midwifery is to answer a series of questions in our inner soul and to help to “perfect the soul”. Currently there is a new trend of philosophy practice in the philosophical study， which promotes the spirit of the midwifery of the Socratic method. The practice scheme of the philosophical education s that through revolutionary exploration， philosophy education can achieve ts purpose of questioning people?s spirit in a operational way and make philosophy be able to face people?s inner soul. This wil not only help to address the problems in the spirit but also s useful in promoting the peace and happiness in people?s spirit.
