EL336: Ulicne

How refreshing it was to listen and watch about the relationship between oral and manuscript instead of reading about it, Chris. Thanks so much for taking the time out to find that for us.

The points they make, especially the first two quotes in your initial entry really go back to the argument supporting manuscript culture because of its concreteness. Although I do agree with Plato's argument that the written word makes us somewhat lazy and can often be misinterpreted, I disagree that it's a less intelligent form. The concreteness of words heightens our intellect because of that reflection we gain from it. The permanence of our thoughts allows us to questions ourselves, share our ideas, and deepen our knowledge.
