چکیده:
The indivisibility of writing and democracy in Classical Greece as a historical reality draws Plato's thought toward proposing his own account and interpretation of the companionship of these two categories within the framework of two subjects: the philosophy of language and political philosophy. By recognizing the spirit of the times and the transition of Greek civilization from an oral and spoken stage to a literary and written one, he demonstrates, at its most obvious level, its metalinguistic relationship with a specific type of polis or city-state. In other words, written discourse is linked to the political regime or system of democracy at its inception and throughout its course, and it is not separable or dissociable from it. In this regard, it seems that from two perspectives—the origin and the characteristics of writing and democracy—we reach common points: the dependent and derivative origin of both in a creator and father named oligarchy, and their shared attributes of equality and freedom (proportionate to the subject) in reaction to the emergence of inequality and limitation to necessities and essential needs.

Mostafa Younesi (*) Dr. Hatem Qadri (**) Abstract: The indivisibility of writing and democracy in Classical Greece as a historical reality draws Platonic thought toward presenting his own narrative and interpretation of the companionship of these two categories within the framework of two subjects: the philosophy of language and political philosophy.
In this regard, it seems that from two angles—the origin and the characteristics of writing and democracy—we arrive at common points: the dependent and subordinate origin of both to a creator and father named oligarchy and discourse, and also their shared qualities of equality and freedom (proportionate to the subject) in reaction to the emergence of inequality and being limited to necessities and essential needs.
In other words, it can be said that in the sphere of philosophy, a natural coexistence has emerged between discourse or Logos and the Polis and its related matters or politics; and in this regard, as a historical fact, at a micro and incidental level, we witness the companionship of written discourse (as an aspect of Logos) with democracy (whether in the form of a system and regime or the individual, i.
Thus, while understanding the transition of Greek civilization from the oral stage to the written and book-based stage, he also delineates and pathologizes its trans-linguistic impact through its connection with a specific type of political system (namely, democracy) and its consequences.
