Theory of ‘Disjunctive Synthesis’ of Deleuze and Guattari

Deleuze and Guattari’s first co-authored work was a 1970 paper called “Disjunctive Synthesis”. It is said to be an abridged version of their forthcoming ‘Capitalism and Schizophrenia’, referring to Pierre Klossowski’s recent work. This paper is a draft of the rationale for Anti-Oedipus. Interestingly, however, there are no studies that address the relationship between the “Disjunctive Synthesis” and Anti-Oedipus. “Disjunctive Synthesis” is very helpful in that it unravels and clarifies the ambiguity of Anti-Oedipus. Furthermore, the paper shows Deleuze and Guattari’s initial problem with Anti-Oedipus, concerning the unconscious. In particular, the rupture that separates Anti-Oedipus from The Logic of Sense is identified. I have followed the “Disjunctive synthesis” in order to clarify the problem that the paper is trying to solve, and to show the points that correspond to the “paths” and “bridges” of how this problem develops later in Anti-Oedipus. I have particularly focused on elucidating the inclusive, illimitative, and affirmative usages of the “disjunctive synthesis” in the synthesis of the unconscious.
