Study Notes
The Importance of Imagination and Speech in Human Thought
-
Mental discourse is the succession of one thought to another, which is called "Mental Discourse."
-
The next thought after a person thinks of something is not entirely random, but rather, it is based on previous sensory experiences.
-
There are two types of mental discourse: unguided and regulated.
-
Unguided mental discourse is without design and inconstant, while regulated mental discourse is governed by some desire or design.
-
The mind of man has no other motion than sense, thoughts, and the train of thoughts, but with the help of speech and method, these faculties can be improved to distinguish humans from all other living creatures.
-
The invention of speech, consisting of names or appellations and their connection, was the most noble and profitable invention of all other inventions.
-
The first author of speech was God himself, who instructed Adam how to name the creatures he presented to him.
-
The Scripture does not provide evidence that Adam was taught all the words and language that humans use today, including the words of the school.
-
The general use of speech is to transfer our mental discourse into verbal and to register the consequences of our thoughts.
-
The use of language is necessary for the existence of a commonwealth, society, contract, and peace.
-
Speech is a human invention that distinguishes humans from all other living creatures.
-
The diversity of languages today was caused by the dispersion of mankind into distant regions of the Earth.The Uses and Abuses of Speech
-
The primary use of names is to serve as marks or notes of remembrance.
-
Names are also used to signify one's thoughts, desires, fears, and passions to others and for mutual help.
-
Speech is used to register the cause and effect of things, which is the acquisition of arts.
-
Speech is also used to teach, counsel, make known one's will and purposes, and for pleasure or ornament.
-
The four abuses of speech are registering thoughts wrong, using words metaphorically, declaring false wills, and using speech to grieve others.
-
The manner in which speech serves to remember the consequence of causes and effects is through the imposition and connection of names.
-
There are proper and common names, and universals are names that are imposed on many things for their similarity in quality or accident.
-
Names universal have varying extents, with some being larger and some being stricter in signification.
-
By the imposition of names, we turn the reckoning of consequences of things imagined in the mind into a reckoning of the consequences of appellations.
-
The use of words in registering thoughts is evident in numbering, and without words, there is no possibility of reckoning numbers or magnitudes.
-
There was a time when numerals were not in use, and people used their fingers to keep track of things they wanted to account for.
-
Speech is crucial for the being and well-being of humankind as it allows us to communicate and understand each other.
