The article examines the erotetic method—teaching through structured questions and dialogue – as an operational framework for medical ethics. Shifting from transmitted rules to posed problems fosters critical thinking, value awareness, and well-reasoned decisions under uncertainty. Rooted in the Socratic tradition, the model can be applied to specific cases (end-of-life, transplantation, triage) to internalize values and strengthen argumentation, empathy, and professional accountability.

Abstract
The article examines the erotetic method—teaching through structured questions and dialogue – as an operational framework for medical ethics. Shifting from transmitted rules to posed problems fosters critical thinking, value awareness, and well-reasoned decisions under uncertainty. Rooted in the Socratic tradition, the model can be applied to specific cases (end-of-life, transplantation, triage) to internalize values and strengthen argumentation, empathy, and professional accountability.File in questo prodotto:
