Felix Guattari 1930 – 1992
Felix Guattari (1930 – 1992) was a French philosopher of the Contemporary era, associated with Post-Structuralism and Continental Philosophy.
Pierre-Felix Guattari was a French psychoanalyst, political activist, and philosopher and the long-time collaborator of Gilles Deleuze. After training as a psychoanalyst at the experimental La Borde clinic, he joined Deleuze in producing the two volumes of Capitalism and Schizophrenia, Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus, that have become reference texts of late twentieth-century continental philosophy. His own writings, including Chaosmosis and The Three Ecologies, develop a philosophy of subjectivity, ecology, and political activism that anticipated many themes of later environmental thought.
