Just over 100 years ago people still gathered to watch at the gallows to watch hangings and firing squads in the town square.  Not much earlier than that there were still people burned alive at the stake in public.



Is that not the Socratic method for learning and discovering the truth?

I don't think there would be that many.

I think a hanging or a guillotine, while still a gruesome death, is a lot quicker than listening to a human scream while being boiled alive.

I always thought that the Socratic method was to ask questions of someone because they already know the answer and just don't realize it yet?
