Perspectivism?

Eliot:

 Maybe my post on the Grammar of Science (Adams)  will show
up yet. 

"The world is everything that is the case." 

		--Wittgenstein

P, I suspect, aside from the fact that Ludwig was popular
cant at the Rusty Spoons and Gin Mills around the Village,
was attracted to the Objective Perspective of Wittgenstein,
as much as to his Existentialism, but the Existentialism is
parodic in P's first novel, and later, P will make clear,
that his reality is Substrative, the Virgin/Rock. 

In any event, perspectivism and ideocentrism is not divorced
from Science and scientific theory need be Objective in
Perspective. 

"We never get away from ourselves. Not I only do I see that
I can not get away from myself, but I see that you cannot
get away from yourself...It was my original intention to
present my analysis of doings or happenings exclusively in
the first person singular, the doings or happenings being
doings by me or happenings to me. " 

		--Percy W. Bridgman

It is given the most beautiful expression possible by the
American: 

"I celebrate myself and Sing myself." 

		--Whitman






To this, of course we open the door into the postmodern, and
language, 
although I agree with McHale and Weisenburger and others who
claim that GR is P's first Postmodernist novel. 


G. E. Moore, 

...the problems of philosophy are not scientific, but "the
problem of trying to get really clear as to what on earth a
given philosopher MEANT by something which he said." 

Rudolph Carnap, 

in his Logical Syntax of Language, 

"Only then will it be possible to
replace traditional philosophy by a strict scientific
discipline, namely, that of the logic of science as the
syntax of the language of science."

At which point I surrender, after feeling a bit like Mr.
Graves and 
Katje (Oedipa)  in GR, who discovers a film about a plot and
midget Sheriff. 

"The pursuit of truth, not of facts, is the business of
fiction."
