Literality (Writtenness) versus Orality (Oralness) - which of these two forms of access to the realm of the spirit can claim the first place for itself?

Even if there may be no definitive victory for either side in this competition, the insights gained are, based on experience, enlightening in many ways, essential, and occasionally even astonishing for the development of thought. It can be confidently expected that this also holds true for this anthology.
