maieutics

Other Definitions
maieutics (dict)

Maieutics is a method of teaching introduced by Socrates. It is based on the idea that the truth is latent in the mind of every human being due to his innate reason but has to be "given birth" by questions asked by the teacher and answers given by the student. The word is derived from the Greek "maieutikos", pertaining to midwifery.
