18. Thought / A. Modes of Thought / 1. Thought

24102	Thoughts are signs (just as words are) [Nietzsche]
	Full Idea: Thoughts are merely signs, as words are signs for thoughts.
	From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Unpublished Notebooks 1881-82 [1882], 5[1]272)
	A reaction: The obvious question he invites is 'signs of what?'. His point must be that most thinking is both non-verbal and non-conscious, which he took to be true even of intellectual thought. I sympathise with his view.
