Title: Wort und Gedanke
Description: Plato's criticism of writing has engendered much controversy - and it is where interpretations of Platonic philosophy often part ways. This study uses textual and philosophical analysis to shed light on the debate. By comparing Plato's views to Plotinus's thoughts about the conditions and forms of philosophical discussion, the author gives the debate historical and systematic context.
