Description

Wax Tablets of the Mind examines the intricate relationship between literacy, orality and memory in classical antiquity through the lens of modern cognitive psychology. This Routledge volume argues that literacy extends far beyond basic reading and writing skills, encompassing the technology of writing, symbol encoding and decoding, meaning interpretation, and the retrieval systems that organise how we store and access memory. The author explores how ancient societies managed information and developed memory techniques, drawing parallels with contemporary cognitive science to reveal how writing tools and practices shaped human thought. By investigating both ancient debates and modern psychological research, the book offers fresh insights into how the development of written language transformed cognition, learning and the preservation of knowledge across cultures and centuries.
