When Is A Gluck Not A Gluck: A Philosophic Exploration of P.K. Dick’s The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch

http://www.philipkdick.com/frank.htm

“In T3S, Dick does not use a philosophic point-of-view or style that one would expect from a mid-twentieth century writer to analyze the nature of individual experience, of individual reality. He does not use Pragmatism as formulated by William James and John Dewey. Nor British Analytic Philosophy as postulated by G.E. Moore and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Nor the Continental Existentialism of Kierkegaard and Sartre. Instead, Dick uses Medieval Scholasticism for his philosophical framework in T3S. It is, however, an implicit framework. Nowhere in T3S is Scholasticism explicitly mentioned. Its elaboration occurs by way of allusion in and certain Scholastic concepts that are an integral part of the plot structure.”
