[MD] subject-object metaphysics

[MarshaV]

Greetings,

"Pirsig uses the term ‘subject-object metaphysics’ (SOM) for any metaphysics (explicitly or implicitly) that perceives reality as either mind and/or matter such as idealism, materialism, and dualism. This recognition is not unique to Pirsig as, for instance, the Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy also notes that ‘a subject-object dichotomy is acknowledged in most Western traditions’."
