About Socratic Dialogue
This form of Socratic Dialogue is based on the following assumptions:
• We are all locked in our repetitive thoughts. Our neuron system favors this rehearsal due to addictive endorphins release circuits: we are addicted to repeating the same thoughts (negative and positive ones). It is hard to get out of thoughts into thinking.
• We are mostly not listening even when we pretend to. After meetings, most participants have a different report of the proceedings. We hear only what is connected to what is already in our heads circulating.
• We are not aware which philosophical, and other assumptions are active in ourselves. We have internalized an ego model that assumes compete for auto authorship of all your thoughts and feelings.
We internalize the hidden and explicit assumptions of our surroundings, be it buildings, business cultures or school climates. All these elements are entirely neglected in our normal discourses. In the Socratic Dialogue, we exercise the art of listening, investigate philosophical assumptions and create experiences of new thinking. We focus together on a common articulated question and look at this meticulously with a philosophical approach. All the participants will take all the steps in a common focus. You will acquire this capacity by training the method in a three-day training session. You will get to know all the theoretical aspects of this method. You will get an introduction to the art of philosophical analyses and some theoretical approaches to Socratic Design.
