I agree the Socratic Method was initially designed as a way to change other peoples minds, but its just as useful when delving into something yourself. And thanks for your great post on the 4HWW. It got me to pick up my old philosophy books to see if there are any other points I could relearn. And I think an underlying theme to remember with the best philosophers (especially the Stoicists you meantioned) was they were men-of-action. Also, I count many of history's great scientists and inventors as philosophers (Edison, Franklin, Toyoda, etc) because they understood the world through their efforts. Thanks for the comment.
