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

18717	Thought is an activity which we perform by the expression of it [Wittgenstein]
	Full Idea: Thought is an activity which we perform by the expression of it, and lasts as long as the expression.
	From: Ludwig Wittgenstein (Lectures 1930-32 (student notes) [1931], B VIII)
	A reaction: I take this to be an outmoded view of thought, which modern cognitive science has undermined, by showing how little of our thinking is actually conscious.
