maieutic method
The maieutic method, also known as the Socratic method, is a form of cooperative argumentative dialogue in which an individual, through questioning, stimulates critical thinking and draws out ideas and underlying presumptions. The method is intended to guide individuals to realize their inherent knowledge about a topic, similar to the act of giving birth to ideas, which is why it's often referred to as "maieutic," derived from the Greek term for "midwifery."
