Summary/Abstract: Socratic method seems very interesting and attractive conception of the inquiry to knowledge. Teacher applying this method promote independence and self-reliance in the classroom, while his role is reduced to facilitate the learning process only. Besides, Socrates’s method is based on definitely an analytical approach to knowledge. In article I suggest that Socratic method, because of these characteristics, can be identified with constructivist approach to learning. At the same time I advance the thesis that mentioned method, as a historical and philosophical category, should not be confused with constructivism.
