by MICHEL FOUCAULT Everyone knows that in France there are few
logicians but many historians of science; and that in the
'philosophical establishment' - whether teaching or research
oriented - they have occupied a considerable position. But do we
know precisely the importance that, in the course of these past
fifteen or twenty years, up to the very frontiers of the
establishment, a 'work' like that of Georges Canguilhem can have
had for those very people who were separ ated from, or challenged,
the establishment? Yes, I know, there have been noisier theatres:
psychoanalysis, Marxism, linguistics, ethnology. But let us not
forget this fact which depends, as you will, on the sociology of
French intellectual environments, the functioning of our university
institutions or our system of cultural values: in all the political
or scientific discussions of these strange sixty years past, the
role of the 'philosophers' - I simply mean those who had received
their university training in philosophy department- has been
important: perhaps too important for the liking of certain people.
And, directly or indirectly, all or almost all these philosophers
have had to 'come to terms with' the teaching and books of Georges
Canguilhem. From this, a paradox: this man, whose work is austere,
intentionally and carefully limited to a particular domain in the
history of science, which in any case does not pass for a
spectacular discipline, has somehow found him self present in
discussions where he himself took care never to figure."
