[MD] subject / object logic

[Ron Kulp]

more questionable wiki:
Subject-Object Based Metaphysics is terminology used by the author
Robert M. Pirsig to the historically dominant form of metaphysics in
Western philosophy. Pirsig claims that the use of subjects and objects
as separate distinct entities stems from the founding of modern
intellectual discourse on the logic of "plus or minus". Things either
are or aren't, and any further findings are considered non-empirical.
The subjective side of thought is considered entirely non-empirical.
Pirsig also notes that The subject object metaphysics have distanced
subjects from objects in places where they are inexorably linked. Pirsig
uses the undefinable notion of quality to re-unify the two terms using
the Metaphysics of Quality.

Ron:
I understand Pirsig as saying SOM is "either/or" logic of excluded
middles which is embedded in our 
culture. I still contend that SOM either /or logic is different than
subject/object distinction.
how we intellectualize subject/object distinction is the crux and the
basis of MOQ.
