Does writing create ideas and thoughts?
This is a good question because writing is proof about thinking, and it would show other people the thing, what is in the writer's mind. And that is a very interesting point of view because the writings are proof of the thoughts of the ancient philosophers' opinions. The thing is that without writings the persons like Socrates would remain in history, and nobody knows about them. And the thing that is always forgotten is that Socrates has not written anything, and the things what this man said were written by Platon. This thing makes me think that could the Sokrates really teach other people, or was he only speak himself?
This is one of the ideas, what this ancient philosopher has brought in my mind. When we are thinking about Plato's academy, where the philosophers have spoken together, we might ask, what kind of place that academy really was? I think that the old garden, where those people talked together was not anything else than some bulletin board, where those philosophers hang their texts, and copied the other philosopher's texts, and gave answers to the problems.
This might seem very much against the persons, who thought that the philosophers sat in the temple or somewhere like that. The thing was that those people would be persecuted if they were against the leaders, and that's why they might hide their identities. When we are talking about the academy, Plato might mean the life itself.
He spoke and write by using symbolic language, and when we are facing thoughts, that this man was some kind of traveler, I must say that it is possible that he was a sailor in some part of his life, and he wrote a letter to his comrades and portrayed the ideas to them, and maybe he did it on the last day in the harbors. But then we can think about this problem with the other way. Maybe Plato ever visited in the places, where he claimed to visit.
Maybe he played some kind of novelist, who wrote novels for the people. Here I mean, there is a possibility, that Plato's trips were only symbols, and he heard the Ultima Thule from some tradesmen. And the tale of the Atlantis might also hear some sailors, and the "priest from Egypt" is the fake identity, what is made for covering the real identity of that person. There are things that are really interesting, and when we are thinking about the man, Plato, and other philosophers, they are living forever in the middle of the people by their texts, what is still impressive.
