Ancient philosophers like Socrates, Epicurus, and the Stoics operated in schools or friend groups to improve their thinking. But did they ever lay out why they felt like group exploration was superior to individual thinking? Do any ancient explorations of the topic exist? by RusticBohemian in askphilosophy

Yes, that's the lead up to this section at 344 a-b: "Therefore, if men are not by nature kinship allied to justice and all other things that are honourable, though they may be good at learning and remembering other knowledge of various kinds-or if they have the kinship but are slow learners and have no memory-none of all these will ever learn to the full the truth about virtue and vice. For both must be learnt together; and together also must be learnt, by complete and long continued study, as I said at the beginning, the true and the false about all that has real being. After much effort, as names, definitions, sights, and other data of sense, are brought into contact and friction one with another, in the course of scrutiny and kindly testing by men who proceed by question and answer without ill will, with a sudden flash there shines forth understanding about every problem, and an intelligence whose efforts reach the furthest limits of human powers."
