Dialogic Education: A Historical and Contemporary Perspective is a powerful intellectual journey that traces the evolution of skepticism toward the written word from Socrates' warnings about writing's limitations to the tangled realities of misinformation, AI-generated content, and deepfakes in today's digital age.
With clarity and insight, Dr. Matthew Weinberg bridges ancient philosophy and modern media, examining how our trust in texts has been challenged across centuries of technological change. From the oral traditions of ancient Greece to the mass production of print and the algorithmic biases of the 21st century, this book explores the complex relationship between truth, authorship, and the human need for meaning.
Whether you're a scholar, educator, student, or critical reader, Dialogic Education offers vital tools for navigating the modern information landscape. Grounded in Socratic inquiry and driven by a passion for truth, this book is both a historical reckoning and a call to action: to read actively, think critically, and engage in dialogue as a path to understanding.
