The Origin of Thought and Speech

"The Origin of Thought and Speech" by M. Moncalm is a study that looks closely at how humans think and use language. The story presents language as more than just a way to talk to each other and proposes it is crucial for understanding who we are and how we think. It starts off with the author thinking deeply and sharing his own thoughts on how hard it is to think clearly. He talks about the importance of looking inside oneself and questioning where our ability to think comes from. The book shows that to really understand things, we need to go back to where ideas first came from. By setting this stage, the author prepares the reader for a big discussion about the history of thought and how it affects us all, both as individuals and as a group.
