The Socratic Method in Chinese
The Socratic method uses questions to expose assumptions, contradictions, and hidden premises. At C1, applying it in Chinese helps you think and discuss more rigorously.
Core technique — expose the assumption: When someone makes a claim, do not accept it; ask 这里的前提是什么？(What is the premise here?)
Steps of Socratic questioning in Chinese:
1. Ask for clarification: 你所说的……具体指的是什么？ (What exactly do you mean by...?) 2. Question the basis: 这一结论是基于什么依据？ (What is the basis for this conclusion?) 3. Expose contradiction: 但你刚才说……，这不是和你的主张自相矛盾吗？ (But you just said... is that not self-contradictory?) 4. Probe the implication: 如果这一点成立，那是否意味着……？ (If this holds, does it mean that...?) 5. Challenge universality: 这个结论是否适用于所有情况？ (Does this conclusion apply in all cases?)
Cultural note: Chinese intellectual tradition values 辩证思维 (dialectical thinking) — using Socratic questioning fits naturally with the classical Chinese mode of debate (辩论).

Veelgemaakte fouten
你说的对，我同意。你的观点很有意思。不过，这里的前提是什么？我想进一步了解你的论证依据。Simply agreeing without questioning is not Socratic; always probe the premise and basis of a claim
你说的不对，因为我觉得不一样。这一结论是否适用于所有情况？你能举出一个反例来检验它吗？Saying you disagree based on feeling is not reasoned debate; use targeted questions to expose weakness in the argument
这个问题很难，我不知道怎么反驳。你的论证中似乎隐含了一个假设——是否所有情况都如此？Admit no difficulty — use Socratic questions to buy time and expose assumptions rather than conceding
