Examining Georges Canguilhem's enduring attention to the problem of
error, from his early writings to Michel Foucault's first major
responses to his work, this pathbreaking book shows that the
historian of science was also a centrally important philosopher in
postwar France. Samuel Talcott elucidates Canguilhem's
contributions by drawing on previously neglected publications and
archival sources to trace the continuity of commitment that led him
to alter his early anti-vitalist, pacifist positions in the face of
political catastrophe and concrete human problems. Talcott shows
how Canguilhem critically appropriated the philosophical work of
Alain, Bergson, Bachelard, and many others while developing his own
distinct writings on medicine, experimentation, and scientific
concepts in an ethical and political endeavor to resist alienation
and injustice. And, while suggesting Canguilhem's sometimes
surprising philosophical importance for a range of younger
thinkers, the book demonstrates Foucault's own critical allegiance
to Canguilhem's spirit, techniques, and investigations.
