The main reason I feel like the text "surprised" me was due to the complexity and analytical elements involved in the method of Socrates to discern his ideas and hypotheses. Even more, I was intrigued by how this method could be applied to the simplest situations. Although Socrates applied his own method to distinct situations, such as whether something pious "is loved because it is pious" (Plato 12) or because "it was loved by the gods" (Plato 13), I discovered that the same method was the same. This method can be used to discuss common items and ideas. When the class happily tried to define what is and what is not a sandwich, for example, it allowed me to make the connection that the Socratic method could be applied to essentially anything that can be discussed regarding a difference in personal assumptions.
