DESCRIPTION:
If, according to Plato, thinking is the dialogue of the soul with itself, thinking aloud possibly means conversing in public: before and for others.
In order to avoid the danger of this alleged dialogue becoming a deceptive ventriloquist monologue, better to invite someone real rather than an imaginary interlocutor. The opening thoughts will gain in richness, intelligence and nuance from an external counterpoint.
Sure enough these are concepts that we have never stopped using in relating to the world and to others, still they currently appear to lack a critical update.
'Thinking Aloud' fills this need, providing theoretical elements to the public debate. In other words, leading us to rethink what happens to us.
