Socrates thought: Writing is unfortunately like painting; for the creations of the painter have the attitude of life, and yet if you ask them a question they preserve a solemn silence. And the same may be said of speeches. You would imagine that they had intelligence, but if you want to know anything and put a question to one of them, the speaker always gives one unvarying answer. And when they have been once written down they are tumbled about anywhere among those who may or may not understand them, and know not to whom they should reply, to whom not: and, if they are maltreated or abused, they have no parent to protect them; and they cannot protect or defend themselves. Real knowledge can only be gathered via dialog: a give and take of questions and answers where ideas are interrogated until the knowledge is truly understood.. Writing makes the brain forgetful and it makesyour mind complacent. Author should be present to defend his writing Writing does not give truth:it only gives the semblance of truth Writing cannot be used as a sort of standalone memorybank because people who read a text will only have a partial understanding of the author’s meaning, andtherefore should notbe taken seriously.
