19. Language / D. Propositions / 2. Abstract Propositions / a. Propositions as sense

4974	For all the multiplicity of languages, mankind has a common stock of thoughts [Frege]
	Full Idea: For all the multiplicity of languages, mankind has a common stock of thoughts.
	From: Gottlob Frege (On Concept and Object [1892], p.196n)
	A reaction: Given the acknowledgement here that two very different sentences in different languages can express the same thought, he should recognise that at least some aspects of a thought are non-linguistic.
