[Horse, quoting Craig] "No one thinks in pictures, because the picture would have to be interpretted & that could not be done by another picture. (see Wittgenstein)"
[Horse] > I'm not sure why you think that no-one thinks in pictures. Strange. You quote my (& Wittgenstein's) argument, then ask for an argument. Perhaps an example will help: (I'll assume we're talking about "mental" pictures here.) Suppose you hear scratching on the other side of a door & a picture of a cat comes to mind. Could this picture be what's meant by "thinking there is a cat on the other side of the door"? No, because this same picture could come to mind when thinking "I wish a cat would chase away t he squirrel scratching on the other side of the door". The pict ure cannot play the needed role of thinking, " because the picture would have to be interpretted & that could not be done by another picture". You could think " there is a cat on the other side of the door" even if a picture of a car came to mind.
