Socrates Against Reading and Writing

Socrates, as portrayed by Plato in works like The Phaedrus and The Republic, had a skeptical view of writing and reading, particularly in their relation to the oral tradition of knowledge transmission that was prevalent in his time. His resistance to reading reflects a broader resistance to the technological and cultural shifts that writing represented. Socrates’s position also offers valuable insights into the nature of resistance to change. However, through his caution, we are reminded that resistance to change often comes from a place of protecting the quality and depth of human experience.
