What actually happens when we think ?

This piece delves into the intricate relationship between thought and the Ways of Knowing—Emotion, Language, Perception, and Logic. It encourages readers to examine a personal thought, express an opinion, and analyze the crucial roles each Way of Knowing plays in the thought's formation. The process of writing down thoughts transforms them into representations, while also questioning whether emotions influence word choice and how culture and life experiences shape understanding. This exploration opens a dialogue about the complexity of thinking and expression across different contexts.

  1. What actually happens when we think ?

  2. And…. What role do the Ways of knowing play in this process?

  3. Have a thought

  4. It can’t be about anything, it has to be a thought that you can express an opinion on

  5. Write that thought down

  6. Which of the Ways of Knowing –Emotion , Language, Perception and Logic, played the most crucial role in the creation of that thought? • Put them in order, and then justify your hierarchy.

  7. What happens to the thought when you write it down?

  8. What do I mean when I say that what you have on the page is now a representation of the thought , not the thought itself.

  9. Emotions • Was it possible to have the thought in an emotional void? • What connections exist between the emotions of the thought and the words used to express it? • Which were the key words? • Would all people respond to those words with the very same emotions?

  10. If you had experienced different emotions would different words have been chosen? • If you couched that thought in different words, would that alter the emotional landscape

  11. Perception • To what extent is the nature of your thought a product of your culture, life experiences, gender etc? • Is it possible that other cultures, genders, eras would have had that thought differently, or not even had that thought at all?

  12. What is the difference between what we think the thinking process requires, and what it actually involves ?
