Abstract
This essay outlines the philosophical and the psychoanalytic work that makes Anti-Oedipus by Deleuze and Guattari one of the most important books works of the last 50 years. The main issues are the notion of desire in Marx and Freud, schizoanalysis as an alternative to Freudian psychoanalysis, and the psyche's emergence as a political, rather than psychological concept.
