RE: Can rational thought exist without language?

in #language7 years ago (edited)

A world without language is possible @smyle. Here is my proove. What you need is just to be a psychologist and you could be able to read the mind of people and and say the fact about them without any prior communication with them before. A good psychologist will only study your action and tell u your habit, he only need to look you critically and say what you eat..... On my stance... World without language is possible....

Sort:  

But without language how can a psychologist be a psychologist? What will he say in his mind to form conclusions? Isn't that a language?

Psychology is all about studying the human mind scientifically and without thinking you cannot study a human and thinking is done with language. Even when you try to use signs to communicate. It is still called the sign language. Studying ones habit still involves language if not how do you think, study and translate one's habit?
