英语词汇“Socratic irony”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

Socratic irony is when you pretend to be ignorant to expose the ignorance or inconsistency of someone else.

Socrates was a famous Greek philosopher known for his probing questions. Irony is when a statement means the opposite of its literal meaning.

Socratic irony involves pretending to be ignorant to show someone else is ignorant: thus, the irony.
