Irigaray vs Deleuze-Guattari on ‘Desire’ and ‘Otherness’ after ’68

This article examines how French philosophy reflected the revolutionary changes of 1968. In particular, it focuses on the problems of desire and otherness in the works of Luce Irigaray and Gilles Deleuze with Félix Guattari. The confrontation of these two philosophical positions opens up a broader view of French thought in and after 1968, articulating the relationships between feminism, psychoanalysis and structuralism.
