"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, focusing on the concept of desire. The authors argue that desire is not merely a lack or a need but a productive force that shapes social and political structures. The book introduces the idea of "schizoanalysis," which seeks to understand the complexities of desire beyond the confines of familial relationships. It emphasizes the importance of social context and collective experiences, challenging the notion that individual psychology is solely rooted in family dynamics, as suggested by the Oedipus complex.
