“What is thinking?”
” We may recapitulate by saying that the origin of thinking is some perplexity, confusion, or doubt. Thinking is not a case of spontaneous combustion; it does not occur just on ” general principles.” There is something specific which occasions and evokes it. General appeals to a child (or to a grown-up) to think, irrespective of the existence in his own experience of some difficulty that troubles him and disturbs his equilibrium, are as futile as advice to lift himself by his boot-straps. “
John Dewey, How we think
Ik tink, dus ik bin! As ik tink, dat ik tink, tink ik dat dan om´t ik it wol, as omdat oaren tinke, dat ik dêr ris oer (nei)tinke moat?
