> Causal processes are not the same as logical reasoning, and if you reduce the processes of the mind to the former, you remove the possibility of rational argument. (I'm not sure if this applies to what I was saying or not; I'll put that aside.) I'll rephrase the comment above to help ensure I'm talking about the same thing. The claim, as I understand it, goes like this: if one believes the mind is governed by causal processes, then there is no possibility of the brain doing logical reasoning. Am I understanding the argument as you intended? I'll proceed with my understanding of it... I don't buy it. Computers are causal and can do logical reasoning just fine.
