Phaedrus

"Phaedrus" is a philosophical dialogue written by Plato that explores the nature of love, the power of rhetoric, and the relationship between speech and truth. The book takes its name from one of the main characters, Phaedrus, who is a young and handsome Athenian. The dialogue concludes with a discussion about the nature of speech and writing, and the relationship between the two. Socrates argues that true knowledge and wisdom can only be found in the living word, rather than in the written word. He suggests that writing is a poor substitute for true speech, as it lacks the ability to respond to the individual needs of the listener.
