Inspired by [[Socratic method]] where you try to explore the deeper meaning
Right now I'm trying to do this every day by engaging in it after reading quotes from:
- [[Plato Quotes 365 Quotes by Plato]]
- [[Socrates Quotes & Facts]]
## Levels
When reading these quotes, I try to follow this structure:
### 1
Initial response, emotional and intellectual
_What is your gut reaction to this quote? How does it resonate with you personally?_
### 2
Exploration of themes and context
- Delve deeper into the themes, concepts, and historical or cultural context of the quote. Consider the philosophical implications and broader significance.
- _What broader themes or philosophical ideas does this quote touch upon? How might the historical or cultural context influence its meaning?_
### 3
Deeper meaning
- _What does this imply? How can this be put into practice?_
