Consider the following quote by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, who believed that thought without language was impossible: “The limits of my language are the limits of my life.”
For more information on Wittgenstein and his analysis on the primacy of language, watch the video “Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889 – 1951) The Limits of Language”, located at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgW_PFl-Xs4.
After viewing the video, consider whether or not it is possible to think without using language.
If you believe it is possible, describe the primary ways in which a person might enact so-called “languageless” thinking.
If you believe it is not possible, describe what you foresee as major problems with languageless thinking.
