Gilles Deleuze (January 18, 1925 – November 4, 1995) was a French philosopher of the late 20th century.
From the early 1960s until his death, Deleuze wrote many influential works on philosophy, literature, film, and fine art.
His most popular books were the two volumes of Capitalism and Schizophrenia: Anti-Oedipus (1972) and A Thousand Plateaus (1980), both co-written with Félix Guattari.
His books Difference and Repetition (1968) and The Logic of Sense (1969) led Michel Foucault to declare that "one day, perhaps, this century will be called Deleuzian."
(Deleuze, for his part, said Foucault's comment was "a joke meant to make people who like us laugh, and make everyone else livid.")
