We often think through something by writing about it. - There has been comparatively little work done on the normative aspects of this connection: how one ought to write in order to think. In particular, how one ought to write in order to think philosophically. ## References - Applebee & Langer 1987, *How Writing Shapes Thinking - A Study of Teaching and Learning* - Emig 1977, *Writing as a Mode of Learning* - Hand, B., Villanueva, M.
