image or language thinking?

[Avanti]

do you think with words, images, smell or taste?

does your way of thinking affect your outlook and personality?

i myself, i am thinking with sensations. my skin and nervous system has a memory of sensations, both painful and pleasurable. i don't make any differences between them. and i use them as associations to support my thinking. i think i think with other stuff as well, as images, or words, but all are filtered through sensations.

Word vision.

Nietszche has a good passage asking why there is no philosophy of smell, but so much on vision.

It is worth considering proprioception and interioception -- our sense of being in the world and our bodily humours.

" The forming of the five senses is a labour of the entire history of the world down to the present." Karl Marx 1844 Manuscripts

interesting. :)

do you think your thinking makes you reach different conclusions from people who're using words?

What did Wittgenstein say about this. His picture theory...

Images and internal speech mostly.
