The mental images we have then, have none of the properties of actual pictures or images. The actual mode of our thinking at the personal level can be accounted for through descriptions. It is clear from a descriptivist point of view that images have little importance at best. They appear to be inert in thought, having no connection to logic and meanings that are the force and substance of the mind. Quite possibly, they are gross illusions, since all the work of the mind from perceiving to syllogizing is done by means of linguistic elements.
Images are epiphenomena.
They are the result of thinking processes that have nothing to do with image experiences. Images can be reduced to descriptions. Images don't exist. There is nothing that has the properties of real images in the mind. Images can not carry meanings.
