In their most common sense, the terms thought and thinking refer to cognitive processes that can happen independently of sensory stimulation. Their most paradigmatic forms are judging, reasoning, concept formation, problem solving, and deliberation.

''Platonists'' hold that thinking consists in discerning and inspecting Platonic forms and their inter ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
