it's very difficult to translate the terms and ideas developed by Deleuze and Guattari to the field of neuroscience. We are developing a revision (in frontiers) about solcial deficit in schizophrenia and their biological correlates. We believe that the ideas of Deleuze and Guattari are related on certain aspects of this review. But, I think that this is an no-explored issue in neuroscience.
"The desire makes its entrance, In the general tumbling down of the question : what does it mean ?"
C'est dans l'écroulement général de la question « qu'est-ce que ça veut dire ? » que
le désir fait son entrée.
L'Anti-Œdipe, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, éd. de Minuit, 1973.
That's the reason why there is nothing to answer to Viola's question.
In my view this philosophical work is an obscure mega exercise in meta nihilism. I read this book a long time ago when working clinically wit schizophrenic patients and it was of no help. Deleuze who was a very bright person committed suicide.
I think buddhism and mindfulness bring more interesting and simper answers to clinical, research, social (capitalism and its fate) and philosophical questions.
