Summary
Why does, when someone is thinking, not just a certain process occur in the brain? Why is it odd to follow Georg Christoph Lichtenberg and say »it is thinking« just as we say »it is thundering«? Pirmin Stekeler-Weithofer shows that norms of correctness or truth are presupposed in thinking and presuppose, in turn, forms of cooperative practices. Reflective thinking is making these forms and norms explicit.
