Who am I? My philosophical method was to ask my students leading questions to help them see the conclusion that would naturally follow from the premise we started with. The result? Truth was pursued, rather than discovered.

This method even has a name; it's called Socratian Method (obviously, named after me) and it's a method that invited others to do critical thinking rather than give them ready-made answers.
