In What is Philosophy?, Deleuze and Guattari set out to answer precisely that question and to show how their previous work together is itself an example of doing philosophy.

Despite the broad range of resources Deleuze and Guattari draw from including geology, Riemannian spaces, and metallurgy to discussing psychoanalysis, literature, and the game of go, among many other topics, they nonetheless consider themselves to be doing philosophy.

This book explores Deleuze and Guattari's answer to the question, 'what is philosophy?': that philosophy is the 'art of forming, inventing and fabricating concepts'. It is also an excellent resource for readers to understand the issues at play in Deleuze and Guattari's other writings.
