In it, Gilles Deleuze and F lix 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 sense, because they are by nature isolated from society. More than twenty-five years after its original publication, \u003ci\u003eAnti-Oedipus\u003c\/i\u003e still stands as a controversial contribution to a much-needed dialogue on the nature of free thinking.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGilles Deleuze\u003c\/b\u003e was a prolific French philosopher and author of 25 books. A self-described pure metaphysician, he was a professor of philosophy at the University of Paris VIII and was known for a style that forced readers to reevaluate their philosophical assumptions. Deleuze, along with close friend and colleague Feliz Guattari, wrote a two-volume work on anti-psychoanalytic social philosophy called \u003ci\u003eCapitalism and Schizophrenia\u003c\/i\u003e. The first volume, \u003ci\u003eAnti-Oedipus, \u003c\/i\u003eis their best-known work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFelix Guattari\u003c\/b\u003e was a French psychiatrist and philosopher. He founded the Society for Institutional Psychotherapy in 1965 and the Centre for Institutional Studies and Research in 1970. Trained as a psychoanalyst, he, along with close friend and colleague Gilles Deleuze, were instrumental figures in the anti-psychiatry movement, which challenged established viewpoints in psychoanalysis, philosophy, and sociology. The two wrote a two-volume work on anti-psychoanalytic social philosophy called \u003ci\u003eCapitalism and Schizophrenia\u003c\/i\u003e. The first volume, \u003ci\u003eAnti-Oedipus, \u003c\/i\u003e is their best-known work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichel Foucault, \u003c\/b\u003eone of the leading philosophical thinkers of the 20th century, was born in Poitiers, France, in 1926. He lectured in universities throughout the world; served as director at the Institut Français in Hamburg, Germany and at the Institut de Philosophie at the Faculté des Lettres in the University of Clermont-Ferrand, France; and wrote frequently for French newspapers and reviews. His influence on generations of thinkers in the areas of sociology, queer theory, cultural studies, and critical thinking are not to be underestimated. Among his many books were the \u003ci\u003eFoucault Reader, Society Must Be Defended, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGreat Ideas.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the time of his death in June 1984, he held a chair at France's most prestigious institutions, the Collège de France.
