Greetings, Horse --
You quoted Bo as insisting:
FYI: The SOL does NOT say that the 4th level consists of
subjects and objects, rather it is the SOM (the "objective-over
-subject" approach) without its "M"!!!!
Yet, in Lila's Child you are quoted as saying that "in a way Subject/Object
Metaphysics could be seen as identical to the intellectual level of the
MOQ!"
SOM is a term Pirsig has used to identify the Socratic concept of the world.
Essentially SOM is acknowledging that existence appears to the subject as a
relational system of diverse objects. (In other words, common experience.)
Inasmuch as everyone here is using that term as the "inferior" alternative
to MOQ, please tell me what qualifies subject/object experience as a
"metaphysics". Also, apart from the question of where Intellect fits in the
levels hierarchy, what do you think Bodvar meant by defining SOM as "the
'objective-over-subject' approach"?
Frankly, the notion that objective reality is "metaphysical" is more
perplexing to me than dividing experience into levels of Quality and calling
it a metaphysics.
Thanks for your clarification.
Regards,
Ham
