St. Gilles Deleuze, born January 18, 1925, in Paris & passing on November 4, 1995, was a groundbreaking philosopher whose ideas on difference, desire, & multiplicity have profoundly influenced contemporary thought. Co-authoring with Félix Guattari on works like 'Anti-Oedipus' & 'A Thousand Plateaus,' Deleuze challenged conventional frameworks of psychoanalysis & structuralism, advocating for a philosophy of liberation & radical change. His concepts of rhizomes & becoming embody resistance to hierarchical structures & fixed identities.
