Thinking Without Words by Jose Luis Bermudez
Thinking Without Words provides a challenging new theory of the nature of non-linguistic thought. Jose Luis Bermudez offers a conceptual framework for treating human infants and non-human animals as genuine thinkers. The book is written with an interdisciplinary readership in mind and will appeal to philosophers, psychologists, and students of animal behavior.-

Bermúdez does what has waited a long time to be done, namely, he widens the scope of non-linguistic thought in analytic philosophyThe case he builds is strong and highly interesting, and it lies on firm conceptual and empirical ground.... The positive theory Bermúdez develops in Thinking should vaporise the last doubts of the analytic philosophers concerning the possibility of non-linguistic thought. The book is excellent in this respect and that is why I recommend it to anyone still having doubts about the issue. * Psyche *
Bermúdez has done his homework; he has read a lot of psychology (and neurology; and anthropology) all of which he is prepared to mine for philosophical payoff. That's admirable, and you'll like the bibliography even if you don't like text. * Jerry Fodor, Professor of Philosophy, Rutgers University *
