Babies Think Logically Before They Can Talk
April 19, 2018
Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.

In his recent article in Scientific American, Bret Stetka reports on a new study showing that language many not be a prerequisite for some basic reasoning skills. “Symbolic communication in the form of language underlies our unique ability to reason – or so the conventional wisdom holds. A new study published in Science…suggests our capacity to reason logically may not actually depend on language, at least not fully. The findings show babies still too young to speak can reason and make rational deductions.”
