The Relationship Between Language And Thinking

    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 importance of language, watch the video Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889 – 1951) The Limits of Language. Next, examine whether 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 “language less” thinking. If you believe it is not  possible, describe what you foresee as major problems with language less  thinking.
