What is Philosophy? by Guattari
This work examines what it means to be a philosopher and attacks the sterility of modern philosophy. Part One explores the nature and scope of philosophy and its relation to social and economic development. Part Two considers other forms of thought: science, art, literature and music.
A very great book.. one of the rare ones which compel us to se things differently ... it will very soon become a classic. -- Didier Eribon * Le nouvel observateur *
Félix Guattari (1930-1992) was a French philosopher and psychoanalyst renowned for his collaborative work with Gilles Deleuze. His interdisciplinary approach combined elements of philosophy, psychoanalysis, literary criticism and political theory, making him a pivotal figure in post-structuralist thought. Guattari co-directed the experimental psychiatric clinic of La Borde from 1951 until his death in 1992. His work sought to challenge traditional psychoanalytic and political structures, emphasizing the importance of collective subjectivity and the transformative potential of desire. Guattari's major works include Anti-Oedipus (1972), Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature (1975) and A Thousand Plateaus (1980), co-authored with Deleuze. He also authored several solo works, including Psychoanalysis and Transversality (1972), Molecular Revolution: Psychiatry and Politics (1977), Chaosmosis: An Ethico-Aesthetic Paradigm (1992).
