Bodvar to Marsha, Andre and All, And now I want to introduce the Newton Gravity talk again because it contains the first outline of Phaedrus' quest. You all know how it goes, P's claim is that things falling to the ground was dynamic and did not "stabilize" as gravitation until Newton, i.e. gravity was created by Newton!! Not as an explanation of something - this is SOM and looks obvious in its hindsight - but as a new "gravity reality".
Andre: Just to nit-pick here Bodvar, Newton did not invent gravity! Based on his observations of the falling apples he created a LAW to explain this phenomenon. This LAW is commonly called the Law of Gravity. When you think about it, in the context of what we are talking about, this is a huge difference. Pirsig did not 'create' Quality. Pirsig created a metaphysics, a coherent statement of reality, based on (and emerging out of) the dominant form of reasoning (SOM) plus dynamic experience, and called it the MoQ. (and its history is known). All for now.
