Words, words, words

"How do I know what I think until I see what I say?" E.M. Forster's question suggests something about the nature of language and thought.  Indeed, the very word for "word" in Greek--logos--has come to mean logic or thought in our modern world.  So, can we think without words?  If so, how do we express those thoughts?  In this week's readings and writings and discussions we'll consider some of the ways language defines, directs, and determines our thoughts and lives.  Also, be aware:  we'll be in boot camp mode until the AP exam--AP Strong!
