Quando un discorso persuade milioni di persone, la sua forza dimostra anche che è vero? Socrate ti accompagnerà nell’esame di una domanda che attraversa l’Atene classica e il dibattito pubblico di oggi.
Missione di scrittura. Scrivi un saggio argomentativo sul rapporto fra Socrate e i sofisti: formula una tesi che valuti affinità e divergenze nel loro uso del dialogo, nella ricerca della verità e nell’idea di virtù.
Una traccia dal passato
Nell’Atene del V secolo a.C. i sofisti insegnavano tecniche di argomentazione; Socrate interrogava i suoi interlocutori per mettere alla prova le loro convinzioni. La pagina dell’Eutifrone riprodotta qui testimonia, in un’edizione successiva, la forma dialogica attraverso cui conosciamo la sua ricerca.
L’Eutifrone, edizione Estienne del 1578: il dialogo come indagine critica.
Dalla tesi alla revisione
Organizza introduzione, paragrafi argomentativi e conclusione. Analizza passi pertinenti dei dialoghi platonici, per esempio Apologia e Protagora; distingui le posizioni degli interlocutori, considera un’obiezione e cita con precisione le prove. Chiedi poi al Socrate virtuale di mettere in discussione la tua tesi e rivedi il testo alla luce delle sue domande.
Per cominciare, premi il pulsante “start assignment” e scrivi una prima tesi.

Saggio argomentativo universitario · Massimo 100 punti
Si valuta il saggio dello studente, inclusa la sua revisione: non la qualità delle risposte del Socrate virtuale.
1. Tesi e comprensione filosofica · 30 punti
- 30 — Tesi originale e circoscritta; valuta con precisione affinità e divergenze su dialogo, verità e virtù.
- 23 — Tesi chiara; tratta i tre temi con distinzioni perlopiù corrette, ma non sempre approfondite.
- 14 — Tesi generica; confronto parziale o semplificazioni rilevanti delle posizioni.
- 0 — Tesi o confronto assenti, oppure ricostruzione sostanzialmente errata.
2. Prove testuali e ragionamento · 30 punti
- 30 — Analizza passi pertinenti dei dialoghi platonici; distingue gli interlocutori, cita con precisione e spiega come le prove sostengono la tesi.
- 23 — Usa passi pertinenti e citazioni identificabili; analisi solida, con qualche nesso o distinzione da precisare.
- 14 — Riferimenti vaghi o prevalentemente riassuntivi; attribuzioni o collegamenti alla tesi incerti.
- 0 — Prove testuali assenti o attribuite in modo gravemente scorretto.
3. Struttura e confronto critico · 25 punti
- 25 — Introduzione, paragrafi e conclusione costruiscono un’argomentazione coerente; un’obiezione pertinente è esaminata e affrontata.
- 19 — Struttura chiara e obiezione presente; risposta o passaggi argomentativi non sempre sviluppati.
- 11 — Organizzazione discontinua; obiezione appena accennata o priva di risposta.
- 0 — Argomentazione non organizzata e obiezione assente.
4. Revisione e qualità della scrittura · 15 punti
- 15 — La revisione documenta quali domande del Socrate virtuale hanno messo alla prova la tesi e migliora concretamente argomenti, precisione e prosa.
- 11 — Revisione riconoscibile e scrittura chiara; le modifiche rispondono solo in parte alle domande ricevute.
- 7 — Revisione soprattutto formale o poco documentata; espressione talvolta imprecisa.
- 0 — Revisione non riscontrabile e scrittura tale da impedire la valutazione del ragionamento.
Calcolo del voto: somma i punti ottenuti nei quattro criteri (massimo 100). Un elaborato vuoto riceve 0 punti complessivi.

Been using Humy in his classroom since 2024
“My students say it’s a welcome change of pace. I’m not a fan of the “sage on the stage” model, so I try to incorporate research-oriented and self-paced activities. With Humy, students have to take charge of their learning. They’ve become more adept at critical thinking, forming better questions, and improving their reading comprehension. The interview feature has been my go-to tool. I create assignments where students must ask historical figures a set number of questions, then summarize the responses to ensure they’re truly absorbing the material. This approach lets them actively explore the past rather than passively consuming information.”

“Humy has helped me bring historical figures, sometimes long past, to life. When my students interact with these figures in real-time, it eliminates some of the perceived “ancient” characteristics of my curriculum. This has shifted my students’ thinking away from viewing history as abstract or irrelevant. Real-time interactions make historical figures relatable, even allowing students to ask off-topic questions that help put historical lives in a more relevant context for 13-year-olds. The feature I use the most is the interview feature. After teaching a topic, most recently Gandhi and Joan of Arc, I have the students ask pointed, focused questions. We practice good conversation techniques beforehand, teaching them to listen (or read) carefully and formulate thoughtful follow-up questions rather than just interrogating. It helps students practice effective conversation skills.”
