An -introduction to the nonfascist life- (Michel Foucault, from the Preface) When it first appeared in France, Anti-Oedipus was hailed as a masterpiece by some and -a work of heretical madness- by others. In it, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari set forth the following theory: Western society's innate herd instinct has allowed the government, the media, and even the principles of economics to take advantage of each person's unwillingness to be cut off from the group. What's more, those who suffer from mental disorders may not be insane, but could be individuals in the purest...

We certainly have the unconscious that we deserve, an unconscious for specialists, ready-made for an institutionalized discourse.

Tisíc plošin je vrcholným dílem autorského týmu Gillesa Deleuze a Félixe Guattariho a zároveň jedním z nejvýznamnějších teoretických textů, které ve dvacátém století vznikly.

Jedním z ústředních motivů je polemika...
