Philosophy[edit]

The word, and verb: 'Thinking' refers to the process of being in thought.

Hence should the explanation of the process 'Thinking' also be explained in a way

that gives us a more clear impression of what 'Thinking' is.


'Thinking' has little to do with the abstract notion of 'Thought', as 'Thought' is

a concept, a derivative conclusion formed by reason, and is further away from explaining

the process of 'Thinking', then giving, or, let us say, try to even grasp the idea of 'thinking'.


What we see here is an important philosophical issue. The question is; "What is more true?"

I am restoring the text on 'Thinking'(although it needs more work) it

still is a better notion of thinking than 'Thought'.


The text is written in terms of a phenomenological approach. I can see why that is causing a somewhat of indifference. It is possible to read f.ex. theorists like J. L. Austin, and maybe the text will be more meaningfull. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Do_Things_With_Words#How_to_Do_Things_With_Words

Your statements appear to be original thought, something (surprisingly) not allowed on Wikipedia. If you have sources to your, um, thoughts, feel free to share them here. (as an aside, you don't really need those line breaks every ten words). ~a (usertalkcontribs) 02:01, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
