This article is a reflection on the current discussion concerning the relation ‘language vs thinking'. It has been inspired by the book ‘O relacji między myślą a językiem. Studium krytyczne stanowisk utożsamiających myśl z językiem' [On the Relation between Thought and Language. A Critical Study of Approaches that Identify Thought and Language] by Arkadiusz Gut (published by Towarzystwo Naukowe Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego Jana Pawła II in 2009).

The last part suggests, on the basis of the anthropocentric theory of human languages, the manner of putting the relation of ‘language and thinking' in order
