“A Thousand Plateaus” is the second volume of the celebrated philosophical work by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, continuing their collaborative project, “Capitalism and Schizophrenia.” In this foundational text, the authors develop the concept of the rhizome, proposing a nonlinear approach to understanding culture, society, and thought. The book is composed of independent “plateaus” that can be read in any order, reflecting the authors’ philosophical stance on multiplicity and decentralization.
