About this listen
In this episode of the School of Divine Mysteries, Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq (fhip) explores Socrates’ famous discussion on the nature of writing, using the ancient Egyptian myth of Thoth and Amon as the backdrop. The conversation raises important questions about memory, knowledge, and whether written words can truly preserve wisdom. Aba Al-Sadiq unpacks the arguments on both sides of this ancient debate and shows why it became one of the most influential philosophical conversations in history.
