In May 1968, Gilles Deleuze was an established philosopher
teaching at the innovative Vincennes University, just outside of
Paris. F?lix Guattari was a political militant and the director of
an unusual psychiatric clinic at La Borde. Their meeting was quite
unlikely, yet the two were introduced in an arranged encounter of
epic consequence. From that moment on, Deleuze and Guattari engaged
in a surprising, productive partnership, collaborating on several
groundbreaking works, including "Anti-Oedipus," "What Is
Philosophy?" and "A Thousand Plateaus."
Fran?ois Dosse, a prominent French intellectual known for his
work on the Annales School, structuralism, and biographies of the
pivotal intellectuals Paul Ricoeur, Pierre Chaunu, and Michel de
Certeau, examines the prolific if improbable relationship between
two men of distinct and differing sensibilities. Drawing on
unpublished archives and hundreds of personal interviews, Dosse
elucidates a collaboration that lasted more than two decades,
underscoring the role that family and history--particularly the
turbulent time of May 1968--play in their monumental work. He also
takes the measure of Deleuze and Guattari's posthumous fortunes and
the impact of their thought on intellectual, academic, and
professional circles.
