The Anti-Œdipus Papers is a collection of journal entries and notes written between 1969 and 1973[1] by the French philosopher and psychotherapist Félix Guattari. These notes, addressed to Gilles Deleuze by Guattari in preparation for their then-upcoming work, Anti-Oedipus.

The papers reveal Guattari as an inventive, highly analytical, mathematically-minded “conceptor,” arguably one of the most prolific and enigmatic figures in philosophy and sociopolitical theory today.[2] As a whole, the papers serve to expand upon, and propose their own, psychoanalytic theory; they are supplemented by journal entries explaining the relationships between Guattari and many of his companions, including Deleuze, Jacques Lacan, and Jean Oury.
