Guattari
Félix Guattari (1930–1992) was a French psychoanalyst and philosopher who collaborated extensively with Gilles Deleuze.
Together they wrote influential works including *Anti-Oedipus* and *A Thousand Plateaus*, developing concepts like deterritorialization, rhizomes, and schizoanalysis that challenged traditional psychoanalytic and philosophical frameworks.
Guattari worked at the experimental La Borde psychiatric clinic and remained politically active throughout his life.
His name appears frequently in discussions of post-structuralism, critical theory, and radical approaches to subjectivity.
