PHAEDRUS
Phaedrus, one of Plato’s most profound and evocative dialogues, presents a conversation between Socrates and Phaedrus that explores some of philosophy’s greatest themes: love, the soul, beauty, rhetoric, and the pursuit of truth. Through a dialogue filled with vivid imagery, myths, and philosophical arguments, Plato examines the forces that move the human being and the power of words to shape the mind and spirit.
At the heart of the work is love as a force capable of elevating the soul toward the contemplation of beauty and truth. Plato offers his celebrated image of the soul as a charioteer attempting to guide two horses of opposing natures, revealing both the struggles and possibilities of the journey toward knowledge. These reflections make Phaedrus an essential work for understanding Plato’s ideas about the soul, desire, love, and philosophy.
Yet Phaedrus is also a profound meditation on language and persuasion. Plato questions the value of rhetoric separated from knowledge and argues that anyone who truly wishes to persuade must understand both the nature of the soul and the truth they seek to communicate. Philosophical, poetic, and timeless, Phaedrus invites readers to reconsider love, knowledge, and the power of speech, making it an essential introduction to the thought of one of the most influential philosophers of the ancient world.

this is mainly because writing is a fundamentally evil act and humans were never meant to be able to do it at all

Plato’s discussion of books in the Phaedrus is unfortunately flawed because it failed to reckon with administrators chatting with data regardless of data literacy
And also with "Canvas Next" tier, administrators can ostensibly use the conversation interface "IgniteAI Ask Your Data" to chat with user data collected in their university's Canvas instance so they "can make data-informed decisions regardless of data literacy or technical savvy."

political accountant / very obvious VIP body guard. Not sure if I'll do anything with him for real, but it was fun to re-design him! Ornate, kind of gaudy, regal knight vibes with the capacity to maul. His name is Phaedrus.

I’ve been waiting for this, but unfortunately ‘Maybe Socrates was right about Phaedrus’ isn’t the take I was waiting for.
Opinion | I’m a College Professor. Writing Isn’t as Important as We Think.
If I do not treat writing as essential for achieving thought, it is not clear why I should force my students to.

And, consider the example from our own discipline: Plato’s ‘Phaedrus’ and the discussion between Socrates and Phaedrus about the relation – generally bad in Plato’s view – between writing and memory and, consequently, thinking.
And, of course, I’m recalling and taking much out of context here.
