What is Philosophy? (French: Qu'est-ce que la philosophie ?) is a 1991 book by the philosopher Gilles Deleuze and the psychoanalyst Félix Guattari.The two had met shortly after May 1968 and collaborated most notably on Capitalism & Schizophrenia (Volume 1: Anti-Oedipus (1972); Volume 2: A Thousand Plateaus 1980) and Kafka: Towards a Minority Literature (1975).
Unhappy with the treatment of Franz Kafka’s work by scholars, Deleuze and Guattari wrote Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature in order to attack previous analyses of Kafka which they saw as limiting him either "by oedipalizing and relating him to mother-father narratives—or by trying to limit him to theological-metaphysical speculation to the detriment of all the political, ethical, and ...

Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari note that deterritorialization and reterritorialization occur simultaneously. The function of deterritorialization is defined as "the movement by which one leaves a territory", also known as a "line of flight", but deterritorialization also "constitutes and extends" the territory itself.
While The Logic of Sensation is sometimes viewed as a work of art history, Deleuze's wrote that the primary motivation for creating the work was to explore the philosophy of art. He also sought to explore the conceptualization of art beyond the representation of an image. The text was translated into English by Daniel W. Smith in 2003. [2]
