Thanks for this Steve, It is interesting how the term SOM gets mishandled through objectification. You bring some needed clarification. It's all in the "M" baby.
I might disagree with your concluding thought: So even if you think that all hiking > around in the high country is doing subject-object metaphysics, > certainly the sophist who is applying all his reasoning skills trying > to convince his coworkers to go out to Hooters is not doing > metaphysics at all let alone SOM. > Since all thought is dependent upon social acceptance (Rorty's conversations) and since socialization occurs in mammalian infant nurture, my Q'm" would posit a trip to Hooters as a highly sophist-icated metaphysical enquiry. Plus there'd be beer so we could probably get Arlo to come.
