30 Phil, Chapter 8, Plato, Touchstone 20: Reflective Inquiry.

Reflective inquiry is the act of exploring and examining one’s own thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions to clear the illusions of life. It encourages a constant state of self-assessment, providing a foundation for intellectual growth based on a more authentic life. For example, with the Socratic Method, rather than lecturing you and telling you what you should think, he posed thought-provoking questions guiding and urging you to critically examine your own beliefs from within.
