/lit/ - Literature

1. Language had to be made
>No one has come out of the womb speaking a language, thus it is not in "nature"
>language would be based from the human framework of feelings and senses.

2. First "words" were names. Possibly basic gestures signifying simple commands or objects.
>things immediately around them, "the real".
>simple gestures, such as hunger, could easily be one of the first "words" as it expresses both a desire and satisfaction.

3. Language, like all tools, had to be developed and continued to evolve which required a long time.
>Primative culture consisted of passing "names" down at first
>slowly more names, and thus more possibilities were added to explain the world
>eventually language would develop to a point where there would be nothing "unutterable"

This was our first act of "science", a way of understanding the world. Did gravity exist before its discovery? Yes, it was always there, we simply gave it a name. This concept would be the same of a nameless world.

Eventually terms that are "not real", human constructs, would emerge. A primitive "tribe" would name itself a "tribe", things would be the same, but they could contextualize themselves as a whole, which would allow thoughts such as, what should the tribe do?
This would be similar to the brain naming itself. Names were originally intended to contextualize what there already was.

What if consciousness requires a framework to operate within, language would be that framework.

This would mean that without the things external of us we could not have become conscious, and without us nothing would be conscious.
Assuming we are simply the pinnacle of evolution of work, and thus still animals, it is such an absurd idea to believe we are animals capable of remembering an incredibly complex pattern of sounds that allow us to become articulate?
If this was true, it would suggest that the reason we are so divided is because our concepts of different words are incredibly different. Because of our circumstances growing up, if we lacked say a caring mother and father, we would be more like to fill out concepts of specific words with our friends and culture. It would fill in gaps.
Maybe the reason we continue to repeat history is because we continue trusting in things that are written down, instead of worrying how things should be.

Since /lit/ can be appropriately described and identified as the home of analytic philosophy: We only do conceptual analyses here, Jacques.

You know where the door is.
