Georges Canguilhem (1904-95) was an influential historian and
philosopher of science, as renowned for his teaching as for his
writings. He is best known for his book The Normal and the
Pathological, originally his doctoral thesis in medicine, but he
also wrote a thesis in philosophy on the concept of the reflex,
supervised by Gaston Bachelard. He was the sponsor of Michel
Foucault's doctoral thesis on madness. However, his work extends
far beyond what is suggested by his association with these
thinkers. Canguilhem also produced a series of important works on
the natural sciences, including studies of evolution, psychology,
vitalism and mechanism, experimentation, monstrosity and disease.
Stuart Elden discusses the whole of this important thinker's
complex work, including recently rediscovered texts and archival
materials. Canguilhem always approached questions historically,
examining how it was that we came to a significant moment in time,
outlining tensions, detours and paths not taken. The first
comprehensive study in English, this book is a crucial guide for
those coming to terms with Canguilhem's important contributions,
and will appeal to researchers and students from a range of fields.
