In this video I continue my discussion of the original version of Deleuze and Guattari’s RHIZOME, which was their third collaboration (after ANTI-OEDIPUS and KAFKA).
RHIZOME was published as a separate book in French in 1976, four years before its publication, in revised form, in MILLE PLATEAUX ( in 1980).
Here, I consider the second half of a paragraph that was omitted in the later version. I discuss Deleuze and Guattari’s arguments against the hegemony of the negative (critique, objections and refutations of objections) in the use of a generalised critical rationalism as a foundation for fruitful exchange and as a means to philosophical progress.
