Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia Paperback - 2009
by Gilles Deleuze; Felix Guattari; Preface by Michel Foucault
An "introduction to the nonfascist life"(Michel Foucault, from the Preface)
When it first appeared in France, Anti-Oedipuswas hailed as a masterpiece by some and "a work of heretical madness"by others. In it, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari set forth thefollowing theory: Western society's innate herd instinct has allowedthe government, the media, and even the principles of economicsto take advantage of each person's unwillingness to be cut off fromthe group. What's more, those who suffer from mental disordersmay not be insane, but could be individuals in the purest sense,because they are by nature isolated from society. More than twenty-fiveyears after its original publication, Anti-Oedipus still stands as acontroversial contribution to a much-needed dialogue on the natureof free thinking.
