Agree, sometimes there are times when you want to look into the thoughts of your interlocutor to immediately see his true face. In philosophy, the concepts of consciousness and language are closely related, and this suggests that you can learn the inner world of a person by analyzing what he says and how.
How is consciousness and language connected?
Language and human consciousness have a direct impact on each other. In addition, they can learn to manage. So, improving their speech data, the person makes positive changes in his own mind, namely, the ability to objectively perceive information and make decisions.
It should be noted that long ago in philosophy such thinkers as Plato, Heraclitus and Aristotle studied the relationship between consciousness, thinking and language. It was in Ancient Greece that the latter were perceived as a single whole. Not in vain because this was reflected in such a concept as "logos", which literally means "thought is inseparable with the word". The school of idealist philosophers considered the main principle, which says that thought, as a separate unit, can not be expressed verbally.
At the beginning of the 20th century. there is a new direction, called the "philosophy of language", according to which consciousness affects the world perception of a person, his speech and, consequently, communication with others. The founder of this trend is the philosopher Wilhelm Humboldt.
At the moment, not one dozen scientists are searching for new connections between these concepts. So, recent medical studies have shown that each of us in his thinking uses visual 3D images, originally formed in consciousness. From this it can be concluded that it is the latter that directs the entire thought process to a certain flow.
Consciousness and language in modern philosophy
Modern philosophy is concerned with the study of problems connected with the study of the connection between human thought , language and knowledge of the surrounding reality. So, in the 20th century. there is a linguistic philosophy dealing with the study of the structure of language, thought that can break away from the real world, but it remains an inseparable part of the language.
Dialectical philosophy considers these two concepts as a historical and social phenomenon, thanks to which the development of language structure is a reflection of the development of thinking, the consciousness of each person.
