Hi Platt, Bo and others
So can you give me an instance of where Pirsig specifically equates
reason with SOM.

Hi Platt
Just a minor point - why do equate reason (or "reason alone") with SOM.
Surely reason is an intellectual POV and not a whole metaphysical
system.

Hi Horse,
Bo has given a fine answer to your question. Here's another one. From the
Wikipedia entry on "reason:"
"Reasoning thought follows a chain of cause and effect, and the word
'reason' can be a synonym for 'cause.' "
>From Note 56, Lila's Child:
"The word 'produced' implies that Dynamic quality is a part of a cause and
effect system of the kind generated by scientific thinking. But Dynamic
Quality cannot be part of any cause and effect system since all cause and
effect systems are static patterns."
Great to hear from you. It gives me an opportunity to express my
appreciation for the high quality of your design and maintenance of this
site. All participants past and present owe you a debt of gratitude if not
cash contributions which you have repeatedly refused to ask for or accept.
Be assured, however, that your efforts have not been overlooked or
forgotten. I know I speak for many here in saying, "Thanks."
Regards,
Platt
