It is known that Socrates taught by asking questions and then disproving them. Questions such as, what is virtue?, and what is knowledge? What are some modern day questions you think he would ask?

Some of the questions I'd ask would be:
If Americans are the freedom fighters as they claim why is it we impose our beliefs to nations by force?
And how about nations that are benefiting from our contributions we allow militaristic government to exist?
We waste so much of our produce every day yet there are so many people dying of hunger.Why we cant help those in real need of our help but spend billions to make a few among us richer?

Sri Ramana Maharshi's "Who Am I?", some of the questions Sunyata raises in "Dancing with the Void," questions relating to Dr. William Tiller's "Psychoenergetic Science," http://www.tiller.org and Free and Wilcock's "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", http://www.divinecosmos.com
The Socratic experience was in the Greek mystery school tradition; Parmenides was a teacher of Socrates. The return of the divine and noumenal to mankind in the West, after a period of Cartesian dualism ~ 1500-2000, would be a relief to Socrates, as well as to his student Plato, who stated that the highest goal of philosophy was to realize the Presence of God.
So, there might be questions for reductionist scientists who claim they know only matter is, based on e.g. more recent observations such as reported in Lynne McTaggart's "The Field," Dr. Elizabeth Mayer's "Extraordinary Knowing," Dr. Dean Radin's "Entangled Minds," O. M. Aivanhov's "Man's Two Natures: Human and Divine," Mark Prophet's "Climb the Highest Mountain," Ann Ree Colton's "Men in White Apparel," "Watch Your Dreams," and "Kundalini West," Dr. Olga Kharitidi's "Entering the Circle" and "The Master of Lucid Dreams," Dr. Jim Tucker's "Life before Life," Dr. David Chamberlain's "Babies Remember BIrth," "Reborn in the West: The Reincarnation Masters," Vicki MacKenzie, and Dr. Martha Beck's "Expecting Adam."
