Abstract

Deleuze, one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century, developed a special terminology of his own together with Guattari. The concepts they applied in this terminology have been eye-opening and guiding on many issues. Rhizome, which is borrowed from botanical science, is also one of these concepts.
