摘要
Plato's story of Theuth and Thamus from the Phaedrus is explored as a means of seeking insight into digital age civic issues. Similar civic challenges in the digital age to those faced by Plato's contemporaries are observed, including the role of memory in formulating context, its weaponisation, and the misuse of published information. Consideration is given to the potential lessons that can be observed from Plato's story with the aim of providing understanding of, and approaches to, challenges in digital age civic life through law, technological intervention, and education.
