now, language cannot be considered fundamental to thought since the acquisition of words was achieved by way of thought. Language is simply a code to transmit materiel events as well as thought by way of memory, abstraction, approximation and metaphor. � As for Materialism, one is obliged to begin with the obvious recognition that we are mere creatures who can only perceive a portion of the actuality. By definition, we are only partially Materialistic and as such this cannot be taken as a Methodology in itself. This becomes the critique of Empiricism and its Formal logic. � Methodology that is pluralist is necessary and as such political analysis cannot be based in the proceedings of any one language or culture. � What then are the building blocks of language. Such terms must have a sensorial effect which stimulates the memory of a certain sensation in sound, light etcetera. The codification of sounds then becomes language. � Essentially, all language is composed of feelings irrespective of any particular language. � � � � � From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of ioannis aposperites via groups.io Sent: Sunday, October 20, 2024 3:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [marxmail] Do animals need words to think? � I have not written materialism but physicalism, a form of vulgar-materialist approach, as epitomized by DM Armstrong.

It was a query to Ioannis Aposperites. So Ioannis - if the Sci American article swerved too much to materialism (I think that was your comment) - what is your reaction Lenin's "Materialism and empirocriticism" and the designation there on thoughts?
