18. Thought / C. Content / 1. Content

2977	All thinking has content [Lyons]
	Full Idea: I cannot say I am simply thinking but not thinking about anything.
	From: William Lyons (Approaches to Intentionality [1995], Intro)
	A reaction: Hard to disagree. However, I can plausibly reply to 'What are you thinking?' with 'Nothing', if my consciousness is freewheeling. Utterly disconnected content isn't really what we call 'thinking'.
