These texts and interviews, presented by Stéphane Nadaud, and brokered a great job of archivist, bring us the "last Guattari", the year ecosophical, from 1985 to his death in 1992. It is a spring awakening after the winter 80: far from depressing tone that passing on, these years are prolific, happy and vital. And despite the novelty of his work, whose central motif is to build a compound object ecosophical "three ecologies" but whose derivatives are múltiples- they are linked to a whole road map, centered from the 60s in research on modes of production of subjectivity in the perspective of a molecular revolution.
The title of this book refers of course-to that other built alongside Deleuze early 90s, What is philosophy? Proof of this is the recurrent way that light slogan appears: bathing in the chaos to remove complexity.
But against any idea of ​​a return to nature or replacement of neo-archaisms, bet Guattari is, so to speak, "forward" and "inside", which, although it sounds paradoxical, not attentive at all against the constant quest for autonomy and a libertarian praxis. It is not the flight of the ascetic, but to draw lines of "immanent" flight to new possible, without reducing complexity to this. An objective order "mutant" can be born from the present chaos of our cities as well as a new poetry, a new art of living.
Ambivalence of the time: We are at a time "to the neck" and aimed at the most unusual, most exciting adventures. Impossible to be taken seriously, but also impossible not "hook". What adventure hooks Guattari? A one in which everything is possible, where nothing is guaranteed. But no hint of nihilism: Why change, why the revolution rather than nothing? Because looks better! But deep down, for nothing, for an immaterial pleasure, an imperceptible throb on the surface of things.
