Welcome to your Socratic Journey!

Socrates taught by asking questions in a disciplined method we now call Socratic Dialogue. This can be a very powerful technique for encouraging introspection and helping someone examine their beliefs. Although Socrates is long gone, we can use the power of artificial intelligence to engage in a Socratic dialogue.

Presently the system requires the user to provide access to ChatGPT. We are working to eliminate this restriction.

Planning Your Journey

The overall structure of the Socratic dialogue is largely determined by the prompt used to begin the dialogue. This is called the generating prompt.

So that Socrates can address you personally please provide us with your first name:

Choose from this list of prompts. Press Submit when you have made your choice.

How do you choose your beliefs?
How do you make moral decisions?
What is bugging you today?
What matters?
Who is your true self?
What is wisdom?
What do you want?

Submit your selection

Begin the Journey

Highlight the following multi-line prompt (shown indented in large green type) and copy it:

Open ChatGPT and enter the entire copied text as the prompt. ChatGPT will then ask you a question based on the chosen generating prompt. When you answer that question ChatGPT will consider your answer in the context of the developing dialogue and then ask the next question. Proceed as long as the dialogue is providing you with useful insights.

Stay safe. If the dialogue is unsettling or becoming too intrusive or uncomfortable, stop.
