Murphy bu “dış işleri” bir yıldız falcısından aldığı bilgiler doğrultusunda yapıyor. Spinozacı bir yoruma göre yukarıda bahsedilen us/beden ikilisi aslında aynı şeyin, tanrının farklı tezahürleridir. (Murhpy’e göre) Yıldız hareketleri de buna dahildir ve akıl harici yegane güvenilir bilginin kaynağıdır. Benim aklıma daha fazla yatan ikinci bir yoruma göre ise Murhpy burada “Us / beden ikiliğinin üstesinden gelinemez, birbiriyle bağdaştırılamaz ve aralarında ilişki kurulamaz” yaklaşımında. Bu da, kitapta da daha sonradan ikinci yorumu güçlendirir şeklide adı geçen Geulincx adında bir filozofun yaklaşımıymış. He sat in his chair in this way because it gave him pleasure! First it gave his body pleasure, it appeased his body. Then it set him free in his mind. For it was not until his body was appeased that he could come alive in his mind, as described in section six. And life in his mind gave him pleasure, such pleasure that pleasure was not the word. She had turned out of Edith Grove into Cremorne Road, intending to refresh herself with a smell of the Reach and then return by Lot’s Road, when chancing to glance to her right she saw, motionless in the mouth of Stadium Street, considering alternately the sky and a sheet of paper, a man.

It's not the easiest read on the shelf. It's well worth your time and effort to engage with, because it's gorgeously wrought...there's a line about owls in the zoo, their joys and sufferings not starting until dark, that I wish I could find so as to quote exactly, but it's...well...perfect, and at the moment it comes in the narrative, so startlingly apt that it makes my hair stand up to remember it.Okay, it can't really be this hard. Murphy, an Irish depressive, has to get a job because Celia, his petite amie, thinks it will do him good. So he leaves Ireland, goes to London and starts working at a mental hospital. All sorts of Irish problems follow him, but Murphy finds himself escaping them among the mad, who have abdicated their responsibilities to the staff and lead lives of unencumbered irresponsibility that Murphy envies. Mr. Endon, the wisest madman, lures Murphy into playing a game of chess with him, and it's that game that forms the spine of the book. It's described in loving, and to me incomprehensible, detail, but if you're patient and willing to educate yourself with a chess reference source as you read, you'll come to realize that this game is the novel you're reading, and the novel is the chess game.

Just so,” said Neary. “Now then. For whatever reason you cannot love in my way, and believe me there is no other, for that same reason, whatever it may be, your heart is as it is. And again for that same reason—” As we cannot eliminate language all at once, we should at least leave nothing undone that might contribute to its falling into disrepute. To bore one hole after another in it, until what lurks behind it - be it something or nothing - begins to seep through; I cannot imagine a higher goal for a writer today.

Murphy’s mind pictured itself as a large hollow sphere, hermetically closed to the universe without. This was not an impoverishment, for it excluded nothing that it did not itself contain. Nothing ever had been, was or would be in the universe outside it but was already present as virtual, or actual, or virtual rising into actual, or actual falling into virtual, in the universe inside it.

If this last request implies a return to Ireland, the ashes never make it; Cooper throws the bag containing them at a man in a London pub who has much offended him. In the ensuing melee, the ashes are ‘freely distributed over the floor of the saloon’and soon after swept away with the other refuse. Murphy' is not about something so much as it is that something itself. In 'Murphy' Characters are moved forward with the illusion of design and purpose. But really they are represented as makers of pointless and directionless action. The so-called journey undertaken by the four characters represent the whirl of action. They know that finding out Murphy does not solve the problem they are faced with. "But with the illusion of purpose they continue to work. Thus the novel embodies an idea about how people in a modernist world happen to work with the illusion of reality.
