When Gilles Deleuze threw himself out of a Paris window in 1995, there ended a collaboration between him and psychologist Felix Guattari in literary criticism, philosophy and
social theory whose influence on methods of
critical thinking only seems to have grown and become more solid since then. The
paper traces the joint writings of Guattari and Deleuze who were part of a circle of French intellectuals, that in the 1950s and afterward developed interdisciplinary critical approaches to literature, art, society and theory. The paper focuses on an analysis of the two's most famous work, "Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia", which illustrates the effect their writing had on the social theory field.
