Actually thinking, like satori, is a wordless act of mind.
Is such an act possible?
Wittgenstein said that ‘Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.‘. I guess ‘thinking’ can take the place of ‘philosophy’ in what he said. If seen this way, the act involves a lot of struggle. Even if we do away with words it seems like something else should take its place against which we would have to battle. Or maybe, I’m thinking a lot inside the box :)
