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. Pat Gunning
