Abstract

The method of Socratic dialogue has been known for its regressive abstraction since Nelson and Heckmann. This method raises awareness on the implicit assumptions and ideas behind the interpretation of human experiences. My recent Socratic Dialogue Groups (SDG) with people recovering from cancer revealed additional perspectives on philosophical reflection. The dialogues among the participants brought out an ontological exigency within reflection that moved beyond purely epistemological thinking. The objective of this article is twofold: First to elucidate the act of reflecting philosophically within my SDGs and secondly to accent the ontological dimension of reflection. My analysis of the process of reflection will draw on Marcel's philosophical reflection and notion of being.
