Hi John,
John:
What is SOM? I've said before that it is a values-free
metaphysics, but is
that ultimately true in people's lives? Do people honestly live
their life
with no value to guide them? Of course not. Such would be an
insanity.
Since reason tells them there are no values, they supply their
own. The ego
comes to rule. SOM creates people who have no choice but to live by
subjective values in a social hierarchy. They end up there guided by
pragmatic methods.
Steve:
I don't think SOM is a value-free metaphysics at all. It's just that
SOM has a hard time dealing with values because they don't fit neatly
into the subjective-objective scheme of things. SOM doesn't include
the notion that values don't exist, though it does include a view of
science as a value-free endeavor and Reason as a value-free essence.
Best,
Steve
