From Writing Invention to Alphabetization and Literacy

Abstract

This text contains an analysis of a set of questions and options related to the weight of the written language, its learning and impact: from one side, on the development of cognitive capacities and, therefore, of the ideas and the scientific knowledge; and, from another side, given the prominence of the human beings’ egotist ambitions, on the unavoidable creation of antagonisms, inequalities and oppressions from some on others, culminating on merciless class fights. So, although I have mainly written scientific papers in usual standardized molds, my option in this paper is to revindicate the freedom of writing out of those molds without, anyway, renouncing to the scientific reasoning.
