Guattari Beyond Deleuze

<p>This book argues that by virtue of his original and ongoing contribution to ontology and modal philosophy (from the texts gathered in <em>Psychanalysis and Transversality</em> to the unpublished manuscript notes for <em>What Is Philosophy?</em>) Guattari is to be acknowledged a philosopher in his own right independently from Deleuze. Furthermore it looks back and forth beyond <em>Anti-Oedipus</em> and contends that Guattari���s major writings gradually supplement deterritorialization with determinability. Accordingly it offers a new interpretation of the nuanced development of Guattari���s philosophical thought which it proposes to define as constructivist rather than post-structuralist. Additionally it explores the innovative responses that Guattari���s philosophy supplies to various contemporary philosophical debates like those on accelerationism indeterminacy compossibility and worlding. Finally it examines the differences that upon a careful cross-reading of their earliest texts (including <em>The Anti-Oedipus Papers and Difference and Repetition</em>) must be drawn between Guattari���s constructivism and Deleuze���s sacrificial philosophy.</p>
