Anti-Oedipus
"Anti-Oedipus" is a philosophical work by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, published in 1972. It critiques traditional psychoanalysis, particularly the ideas of Sigmund Freud, and explores the relationship between desire, society, and capitalism. The authors argue that desire is a productive force that can challenge oppressive structures rather than being merely a result of repression.
The book introduces the concept of "schizoanalysis," which seeks to understand the complexities of human desire and its connections to social and political systems. By examining how desire operates within capitalism, "Anti-Oedipus" encourages readers to rethink conventional notions of identity and subjectivity, promoting a more fluid understanding of human experience.
