“V.” Is for …: Scholars frequently try to discover philosophical
frameworks structuring the works of the novelist Thomas Pynchon. There
have been, for instance, many academic papers positing affinities
between Pynchon’s “V” and Wittgenstein’s “Tractatus
Logico-Philosophicus.” In an article in 3:AM Magazine, Martin Paul Eve
finds this approach wanting: first, it fails to acknowledge, the
fundamental antagonism toward philosophy suggested in Pynchon’s work,
and second, it does not attend to how philosophy and philosophers are
positioned within his multivalent narratives — and especially how they
are politically situated. For Eve, the intellectual value of Pynchon
is to be found precisely in the way his works refuse to submit to any
philosophical agenda or methodology. In this way Eve rejects the view,
fashionable in some quarters, that there is no meaningful distinction
between literature and philosophy.
