The first horn of Phaedrus’ dilemma was, If Quality exists in the object, why can’t scientific instruments detect it?

This horn was the mean one. From the start he saw how deadly it was. If he was going to presume to be some superscientist who could see in objects Quality that no scientist could detect, he was just proving himself

He goes on to say that neither side of the dilemma can be correct, and to say many things which I cannot hope to summarise. What he concludes is that quality is something apart from mind and matter, but rather the point where the two meet.

Wanted to show a passage to Pred, but I didn't want to copy-paste it through msn, so I wrote it down here.
