Socratic Irony

Socratic Irony is a rhetorical and dialectical strategy in which a speaker feigns ignorance or naivety (genus: conversational technique) in order to elicit contradictions or deeper insights from an interlocutor, thereby exposing the limitations of their knowledge while implicitly asserting philosophical inquiry (differentia: feigned ignorance aimed at epistemic refutation and self-examination).
