Rhizome (philosophy)

A rhizome is a concept in post-structuralism describing an assemblage that allows connections between any of its constituent elements, regardless of any predefined ordering, structure, or entry point. It is a central concept in the work of French theorists Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, who use the term frequently in their development of schizoanalysis.

Opposition to arborescence
Arborescent () refers to the shape and structure of a tree. A Thousand Plateaus introduces the concept of philosophical rhizome through a botanical metaphor, which contrasts the rhizomatic character of underground root systems to the naturally hierarchical ordering present in tree-structures. Deleuze and Guattari extend the metaphor beyond botanical trees to the realms of abstract and linguistic trees. ==Approximate characteristics==
Approximate characteristics
In A Thousand Plateaus, Deleuze and Guattari write that "The rhizome itself assumes very diverse forms... but we get the feeling that we will convince no one unless we enumerate certain approximate characteristics." --> == See also ==
