The contemporary rehabilitation of Canguilhem as a philosopher: A context of dispute
Type de matériel :

Recent studies about Georges Canguilhem have repeatedly emphasized the philosophical nature of his work. They assert that our acknowledgment of Canguilhem’s philosophy is quite new, and has been delayed by a misconception of his work, which had been perceived as primarily belonging to the fields of history of science or epistemology. In this article, I examine the import of this assertion. How did Canguilhem’s philosophy come to be forgotten? I show that this surprising claim cannot be understood without taking into account a context of academic debate, in France and abroad, regarding the definition of the philosophy of science.
