    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Every inference uniquely determines a corresponding argument
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Logical consequence and logical probability are defined for arguments
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Properties of the determined argument can be transferred back to the inference that determines it
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Mental inferences are individuated by their psychological history and causal role, not by propositional content alone.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Two inferences with identical propositional content but different cognitive origins constitute distinct mental acts that resist uniform logical assessment.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Transferring properties from abstract arguments to token mental events conflates the normative and descriptive dimensions of reasoning, as Frege warned against psychologism.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.The mapping from mental inferences to arguments is not unique when reasoners employ tacit premises, vague concepts, or context-dependent indexicals.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Without a unique corresponding argument, the indirect application of logical consequence back to the inference is indeterminate and yields no determinate logical assessment.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Judgments are psychical phenomena and they belong therefore not to World 3 but to our real world. Each judgment is an act or event that takes place at a certain time in a certain mind and is herewith part of a causal network. As a part of our real world, each judgment comes into being in time (and will pass away later on). From an epistemological point of view it is of particular relevance whether a judgment is caused or mediated by other judgments or whether this is not the case, i.e., whether
