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 .

Please respond to the following:

• 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 languageless thinking.
  • If you believe it is not possible, describe what you foresee as major problems with “languageless” thinking.
• Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates posts.
