摘要

Socratic dialectics has always been a very important topic. As an ancient and enduring dialectical method, there are a lot of studies on Socratic dialectics in contemporary times, and there are also some voices criticizing it. This paper will first elaborate Socratic dialectics, and discuss and define the characteristics of Socratic dialectics, and then put forward some critical opinions on Socratic dialectics. This paper holds that Socratic dialectics is an excellent philosophical dialectical thinking, but it still has some limitations and shortcomings, which deserve to be viewed critically.
