MELVILLE, Herman Recker, Astrid: But truth is ever incoherent... Dis/Continuity in Herman Melville's 'Moby-Dick'. (American Studies 168). Heidelberg: Winter 2008.
Focusing on the critical notions of disunity and incoherence so frequently raised in discussions of 'Moby-Dick', the study argues that Melville's 1851 novel depicts two radically different realities governed by principles of continuity and discontinuity respectively, each of which is associated with one of the novel's main protagonists. Based on the assumption that Ahab's world exhibits the same continuities as the cosmos conceptualized by classical physics, this study proposes to regard the captain not as mad, but as a Newtonian subject whose central beliefs about the world are grounded in the same metaphysics as Newtonian physics. In contrast, Ishmael's world is full of inconsistencies, discontinuities, and paradoxes. Beings which populate this heterogeneous multiplicity, in particular the whale which Ishmael attempts to describe and classify, resist all attempts at rendering them continuous. In consequence, they are best described with the concept of complementarity, which originates in quantum physics and denotes a state of affairs characterized by irreducible discontinuity.

Radloff, Bernhard: Will and Representation. The Philosophical Foundations of Melville's "Theatrum Mundi". New York, Bern, Berlin, Frankfurt/M., Paris, Wien Peter Lang Vlg. 1996. ISBN: 978-0-8204-2717-1
The "Theatrum Mundi" of Melville's thought investigated in this work signifies the representational space of modern subjectivity, which posits a "world" of value for itself. The representational theatre of the will manifests itself through the governing discourses of politics, religion, and aesthetics as they are integrated into Melville's fiction. Will and Representation focuses on Moby Dick, revealing the Fundamental metaphysical dispositions illustrated through the historical discourses that Moby Dick integrates and transforms. The metaphysical dispositions themselves determine Melville's reception of classical questions of politics, philosophy, and aesthetics, and his transformation of them.
