Intressting, but
- I did writed once, but it has been deleted from the forum, now i try it again. Of course none of you need to belive me.
Before I was born, I‘ve heard a voice it sad: ‘‘ Nem hihetsz semmiben‘‘ (Hungarian) transleted to English it means:
1. You can not belive in anything.
2. You can not belive in nothing.
When I heard it, I started to laugh, and I was laughing while I was born.
Now according to Plato‘s Socrates I think i may have just convinced that ‘‘Daimon‘‘ because I didn‘t heard any voice since that.
But to reply to your point, I did know that I know nothing even before I read Plato‘s dialogues.
Now let me ask you, If I can listen to someone who is reading the dialogues loudly, or to listen the dialogues on Audiobook, isn‘t that just another way to think, that you know! Socrates views on the object?
Althoght I think you made a good point here, because there is only a few of the dialogues in audio format, so it is hard to see the picture, without letting Plato into our mind.
By the when i writed ‘‘Socrates may would argue with that.‘‘ I presumed, that he actually did it, like hi did the same thing with the ‘‘shadows‘‘ in his defence, but instead of writing it down he decided to make you think about it, and he sad: ‘‘The invention of writing will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom.‘‘
