win World War I, not to support either side of an
ideological civil war that had just begun and was
occurring simultaneously (p. 84). Before Russia
made several questionable decisions in World War
I, the ideology behind the Bolshevik regime was

development, and implementation of the policy not
only under the circumstances of global
confrontation, but in the system of regional

Boston Little Brown Crying Of Lot 49
1,820 words
The philosophy behind all Pynchon novels lies in
the synthesis of philosophers and modern
physicists. Ludwig Wittgenstein viewed the world
as a totality of facts, not of things. 1 This idea
can be combined with a physicists view of the
world as a clos ed system that tends towards
chaos. Pynchon asserts that the measure of the
world is its entropy. 2 He extends this metaphor
to his fictional world. He envelops the reader,
through various means, within the system of The
Crying of Lot 49. Pynchon d...
