Mentoring, Inquiry, and Practical Wisdom
The Socratic Method
The VMT Review — Founder library
Farnsworth offers a clear contemporary exploration of Socratic questioning and how disciplined dialogue exposes definitions, assumptions, contradictions, and consequences. It is particularly valuable for mentors who want to distinguish genuine inquiry from cross-examination or leading questions.
