Description

Félix Guattari's groundbreaking theories of "schizo-analysis" are introduced in this expanded edition of Chaosophy. Guattari's approach, rooted in reality and distinct from Freud's, views schizophrenia as an extreme mental state induced by the capitalist system, and one that enforces neurosis as a means of maintaining normality. This new edition features a range of provocative pieces, including collaborative work with Gilles Deleuze and a roundtable discussion with prominent thinkers. The collection includes essays on the micropolitical means for subverting capitalism, as well as previously unpublished works such as "How Martians Make Love" and "Franco Basaglia: Guerrilla Psychiatrist." A new introduction by François Dosse provides context for Guattari's post-Marxist vision of capitalism, which offers a new definition of mental illness and its subversion. This edition of Chaosophy provides a unique insight into Guattari's thought and its relevance to contemporary debates on psychoanalysis, philosophy, and politics.
