This paper attempts to explore the criticism brought forth against the art of writing by Plato via the use of Socrates in
Phaedrus, acting as a mouthpiece, in order to better understand Plato’s philosophical discourses through the lens of a
reader trying to question, understand, critique or agree with him in the 21st century. In this essay, I shall be attempting to
use a modified version of the dialectical method itself to arrive at a conclusion.
