The collaboration of the philosopher Gilles Deleuze and the psychoanalyst Félix Guattari has been one of the most profoundly influential partnerships in contemporary thought. "Anti-Oedipus" is the first part of their masterpiece, "Capitalism and Schizophrenia". Ranging widely across the radical tradition of 20th Century thought and culture that preceded them -from Foucault, Lacan and Jung to Samuel Beckett and Henry Miller - this revolutionary analysis of the intertwining of desire, reality and capitalist society is an essential read for anyone interested in post-war continental thought.
