Philosophers are Self-Help Authors Brings Ancient Ideas Into Focus

It seems ironic that even ancient philosophers, as Chapter 2 suggests, feigned ignorance to stimulate others to articulate and defend their ideas. The strategy was also a manipulation tactic. It was used to avoid accountability, confuse the other party, or gain the upper hand in negotiation.


In the present day, the strategy of feigning ignorance is not only still in use but can also be a weapon of harm, a tool to manipulate and deceive.
