description Plato's Phaedrus is recognized as the paradigmatic model for the critique of technology. The dialogue denounces the harmful effects of writing, particularly its role in promoting forgetfulness, corrupting the construction of knowledge, and creating a mere semblance of communication. This article aims to analyze Phaedrus by exploring Jacques Derrida's reflection, which interprets that, for Plato, writing is primarily a pharmakon, simultaneously a medicine and a poison. The article emphasizes the fascination evoked by writing, its capacity to transform social ecology and deterritorialize the territory, but also highlights its tendency to disrupt effective dialogue and encounters with others. The elements that emerge from this reflection underscore the non-neutrality of technology, placing emphasis on the pharmacological approach as a significant contribution to the discourse surrounding the non-instrumental nature of techniques within contemporary philosophy of technology.
