In this article, what the minor writing is will be explained from the perspective of philosophy of difference, and Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature, which is written by Deleuze and Guattari. For Deleuze, the problem of writing is the matter of language which can be called as the minor, and the major language. In this perspective, it can be said that there are two kinds of writing: the minor writing and the major writing. Whereas the minor writing is related to creative thinking, writing and philosophy, the major writing is related to memory, representation and Freudian psychoanalysis. But, Deleuze and Guattari say that the aim of writing is not to represent some personal events, memories, desires, but to create the new concepts that do not represent some personal events, or psychological problems. So, while the aim of the minor writing is to change the rules of grammar of the major language, the aim of the major writing is to represent things, events that have occurred before. As a result, in this article “what the minor writing is,” “what three parts of the minor writing are,” “who is a minor writer?” will be discussed. Shortly, it should be said that the minor writing is a kind of philosophical writing and reading.
