Do you think Guattari revolutionized Deleuze?
When reading Deleuze you notice that he uses philosophical terms like being, becoming, eternal, incidental etc. He was an academic who spent the majority of his life at home in France as a professor and father. Guattari on the other hand didn't receive any formal education in philosophy aside from attending Lacan's seminars. He's lead a very active life traveling around the world, he has been in Italy, USA and Japan. His political and philosophical theories are also very heterodox. He comes up with terms borrowed from chemistry and physics which is probably why Deleuze's affinity to mathematicians and philosophers like Leibniz lead to their collaboration. But still he did come up with all kinds of unorthodox theoretical frameworks. Do you think Deleuze was more conservative compared to Guattari knowing his political activism and writings?
