Walter Isaacson Quote
Socrates’ method of building an argument through gentle queries, he dropped my abrupt contradiction style of argument and put on the humbler enquirer of the Socratic method. By asking what seemed to be innocent questions, Franklin would draw people into making concessions that would gradually prove whatever point he was trying to assert.
