conceptual systems (I think), which cannot exist without basic logic. You can easily have an "irrational" conceptual system that is based on logic. In fact, all of them are.

My understanding was that Miles is maintaining that rationality/logic manifested itself differently in different cultures.

I agree that the end products of logic/rationality are determined in part by the cultural premises put into the machinery of logic/rationality. Where I disagree is in believing that the machinery itself is culturally determined (if this indeed is what Miles is maintaining and not my miseading of his posts).
