Abstract
This research work intends to examine and investigate the nature of Mind, its structure, functions and relations with other allied arena’s viz. logic and language. In fact, it also explores logic (inductive/deductive), Language such as its affiliation with the contents of the mind or with the mental processes and mental states. Though the study of Mind, logic and language is very vast in its literature and knowledge, but the affinity between them is limited. Analytical tradition scrutinizes only the empirical and comparative learning between Mind and language with mind and logic. It goes very long to review the bonding between these three philosophical concepts. Therefore we must make this study limited in research and knowledge. In this way I consider two analytical philosophers; Wittgenstein and Chomsky to show the correlation and comparison between ‘Mind and language’ along with ‘Mind and logic’. This work didn’t explore ‘philosophy of mind’ but only Mind as a concept with its mental processes as technical informative networks. Moreover mind along with its connection to logic and language consists of mainstream philosophical and analytical background which differentiates its knowledge and literature from other fields. Same is the case with other two domains; ‘philosophy of logic’ and ‘philosophy of language’. We are dealing with the conceptual and analytical approaches to show the relation and argumentation stuck between Mind, logic and language. Analytical tradition clarifies the vague and ambiguous concepts which belong to mind, logic and language. Wittgenstein said a wonderful statement that ‘face is the best picture of human soul which implies that manifestation is the key source of the inner (Borchert, 2006).
