Patrick, all,
What is SOM, (Subject/ Object metaphysics)?
SOM is a term (created by Pirsig) to describe a school of philosophic
thought which can be traced to early Greek times which subscribes to the
notion that "the truth" is superior to "the good". And that this theory
was and is dominant in all Western cultures. Furthermore, this theory
was and is, appropriately applied, a necessary and "good" theory.
However it's "good" is LIMITED, and the failure of Western civilization
to understand this has, and may continue to lead to ongoing and systemic
problems in the development of a "GOOD", long term, substainable human culture.
