    Socrates questions a student about whether lying is always a terrible sin by presenting a hypothetical scenario. The student had stated that lying is absolutely a terrible sin according to the gods. However, Socrates describes a situation where a father lies to his sick son about medicine being in his drink, to convince the son to take the medicine. Through this hypothetical, Socrates implies that not all lies should be considered terrible sins.

    EXAMPLES OF SOCRATIC METHOD

    Ex. 1

    Ex. 2
    Socrates: Is lying a bad
    thing?
    Student: Certainly. The
    gods tell us that lying is a
    terrible sin.
    Socrates: So lying is always
    a terrible sin?
    Student: Absolutely
    Socrates: Well then Let us
    suppose that a fathers son
    is terribly sick, but refuses to
    take his medicine. The father
    puts the medicine in his
    sons drink and tells his son
    there is only water in his
    drink. Is the fathers lie a
    terrible sin?
