15. Nature of Minds / A. Nature of Mind / 1. Mind / c. Features of mind

12636	Mental states have causal powers [Fodor]
	Full Idea: Mental states have causal powers.
	From: Jerry A. Fodor (LOT 2 [2008], Ch.2.3)
	A reaction: I quote this because it gives you the link between a general account of causal powers as basic to reality, and an active account of what the mind is. It has to be a key link in a decent modern unified account of the world. See Idea 12638.
