Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia
by Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari
Capitalism and Schizophrenia · Book 1Description
A landmark work of twentieth-century critical theory, this book challenges the dominance of Freudian psychoanalysis and its emphasis on the Oedipal family drama as the central explanation of desire. Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari propose an expansive vision of desire as productive, social, and political, linking the workings of the unconscious to capitalism, institutions, and systems of power. Drawing on philosophy, economics, psychiatry, and anthropology, their provocative and inventive analysis examines how society both channels and regulates human potential. Dense, radical, and influential, the book remains essential reading for scholars and readers exploring subjectivity, liberation, and the forces shaping contemporary culture.
