This is not what I mean. When Mises writes of the logical structure of   
the human mind, he means something different -- something that you have   
not yet understood. The structure he has in mind is a structure based on   
the assumption that individuals act, as he defines action. Apparently, I   
am not able to persuade you that you have misunderstood him. You   
continue to lift quotes from his text to support your points and I must   
continue to point out that there is a deeper meaning to the text quotes   
than you have so far acknowledged.  
  
As I said before, I do not which to engage you in a philosophical   
discussion on the HES list. I doubt that the list has the stomach for a   
philosophical debate in which I largely try to play the role of Mises. I   
only wish to point out that you have not understood Mises well enough to   
justify your remarks about him, which I described in my initial post on   
bashing Mises. Or, since "pointing out" requires communication which   
does not seem to be occurring between us, perhaps it is enough for me to   
simply express my opinion on this matter.  
  
I can readily understand why you think that Mises scholars, or perhaps   
only me, operate on faith. If I have correctly interpreted your earlier   
posts to the list, you tend to see values everywhere in economics.   
However, that you think this does not make it true.
