Abstract
The ability to doubt and question the existing beliefs, practices and traditions is critical for democracy. It is the very foundation of a democratic life that the participants of the democratic society engage in debates and deliberation to bring out truth and the ideals on which society, especially a diverse society, can be well organized. These participants would need to possess the ability to not only doubt their own way of life but also to question the judgments and the consensus within the republic that is democratic. In lieu of these arguments, I wish to propose that the ‘Socratic Method’ instills in the democratic citizens the quintessential attributes and character required for a successfully functioning democracy in a diverse society. In this paper, I shall outline what we may conceive of the ‘Socratic Method’ and try to measure the applicability of the Socratic method in multicultural democracies.
