		For Canguilhem, "the history of science is the history of an object – discourse – that is a history and has a history, whereas science is the science of an object that is not a history, that has no history"(Canguilhem in Delaporte, 1994: 26).
		Thus for Canguilhem the normal begins instead with the living organism and an order of specific properties, arguing that medical practice must be based upon the diversity of life which in turn provides the paths for its own conceptualisation and for the restoration of its normal state.
		Canguilhem’s notion of the norm as not being statistical but, instead, to be associated with normativity, that is the ability of a living organism to adapt with activity and flexibility to changing circumstances would be more than helpful here.

		Canguilhem takes his vigorous distances from such a kind of deliberate historical positivism, of "pure history." "The pure history of botany of the 18th century can comprise nothing else under the name of botany than what the botanists of the epoch assigned to themselves as their domain of exploration.
		Canguilhem is aware of the danger of oversimplifying Bachelard's notion of an epistemological rupture between a prescientific mode of thinking entrenched in the immediacy of everyday life with its lived illusions, and a scientific one that needs the surroundings of a research culture to flourish.
		Canguilhem's predilection is clearly for a history of ideas and concepts, as a history of problems meandering through the historical space of the sciences, the "restitution of a conceptual itinerary."{\fs18\up6 \chftn {\footnote \pard\plain \s246 \fs20 {\fs18\up6 \chftn }Renard 1996, p.

	Radical Philosophy - print friendly
		Georges Canguilhem, who died on 11 September 1995 at the age of ninety-one, was France's pre-eminent historian and philosopher of the sciences.
		Canguilhem's history of the sciences is, like that of Bachelard, largely a history of discontinuities and epistemological breaks, but it is also a critical history in Nietzsche's sense of the term, calling concepts to account for themselves before the court of scientific epistemology.
		Canguilhem has left no `complete works'; the six books and innumerable articles he wrote were, in his own view, simply the traces he left as he pursued his `trade' of teaching philosophy.

	Sutton review Canguilhem 1997
		Canguilhem has, across the century, carefully spied out how, in the history of science, "obsessional constraints" take hold of "the curious yet docile mind" (p.72): yet he never argues that acknowledgement of such obstacles to understanding entails the levelling of all knowledge-claims, the restoration of myth in the face of modernity (pp.367-9).
		Canguilhem's active engagement in the Auvergne Resistance was not long over when he pointed out interrelations, in cell theory, between totalitarian politics, with individuals sacrificed to higher organic society, and the vitalistic biology of German Romantic nature philosophers, in which organisms are continuous wholes conceptually prior to their components.
		Canguilhem remained confident that psychoanalysis of knowledge is compatible with scientific realism, where the latter opens space for the normative criticism and judgements of hierarchy essential to philosophy (p.384).

	Georges Canguilhem
		Georges Canguilhem (Castelnaudary 1904-1995) was a French philosopher and member of the Academie_Francaise who specialized in the philosophy of science.
		More than just a great theoretician, Canguilhem was one of the few philosophers of the twentieth century to develop an approach that was shaped by a medical education.
		Canguilhem was also a mentor to several French scholars, most notably Michel Foucault.

	Proceedings held in 1999
		Canguilhem (1904-1995) was born in Castelnaudry, S.W. France.
		Canguilhem is clear and adamant that even though philosophy had lost its sovereignty and its autonomy, it still had important work to do.
		Canguilhem is concerned about the distinction between the normal and the normative, and their relation to the definition of health and disease; and in so doing he asserts the biological primacy of the normative over the normal.

	Canguilhem
		For according to Foucault, Canguilhem’s philosophy of the concept was one of the two routes by which phenomenology entered France, and that entry permitted a reading of Heidegger which found its ultimate expression in the work of Foucault’s that preceded by a few years his introduction to Canguilhem.
		When Canguilhem applies this critical epistemological method to historical sources, he discovers affinities between thinkers who, by other criteria, one might have thought antithetical, like Broussais and Bernard, and cleavages between thinkers like Bernard and Pasteur, whom one might have thought conjoined in the Whiggish Pantheon of success.
		At bottom Canguilhem remains an Aristotelian, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that he invented a sort of structural Aristotelianism according to which the cosmos is built of great conceptual oppositions: continuity versus discontinuity, equilibrium versus disequilibrium, vitalism versus mechanism.

	"Digging Archaeology: Sources of Foucault's Historiography" by Christopher D. Green
		There Canguilhem surveys the strenuous attempts of 19th century biologists to assimilate the normal and the pathological; to put them on a single continuum.
		Canguilhem points out that such claims, whatever other problems they might have, are predicated on a conflation of different levels of medical analysis.
		The difficulty is summed up in a limitation that Canguilhem himself notes: "It is understood that we are not dealing here with mental illness where the patients' ignorance of their state often constitutes an essential aspect of the disease" (p.

	Cancer and Wisdom of the Body: The Normal and the Pathological
		This profound question was addressed to by the greatest minds of modern medicine and their views were summarized in 1943 by the philosopher and physician Georges Canguilhem (1).
		Canguilhem maintains that the definition of normal and pathological depends upon the circumstances in which they are observed.
		In Canguilhem's words: "being healthy and being normal are not altogether equivalent since the pathological is one kind of normal.

	EASST Review
		Canguilhem's writing is bereft of many of the dichotomies familiar to those whose education largely consisted of reading books in English.
		For while Canguilhem carefully explains how analogy was used as a method in the life sciences of the nineteenth century, he also shows the limits of this method.
		Canguilhem defends the clinical assesment of disease against that of the lab.

	Michel Foucault (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		First, there was the French tradition of history and philosophy of science, particularly as represented by Georges Canguilhem, a powerful figure in the French University establishment, whose work in the history and philosophy of biology provided a model for much of what Foucault was later to do in the history of the human sciences.
		Canguilhem sponsored Foucault's doctoral thesis on the history of madness and, throughout Foucault's career, remained one of his most important and effective supporters.
		Canguilhem's approach to the history of science (an approach developed from the work of Gaston Bachelard), provided Foucault with a strong sense (Kuhnian avant la lettre) of the discontinuities in scientific history, along with a "rationalist" understanding of the historical role of concepts that made them independent of the phenomenologists' transcendental consciousness.

	SparkNotes: Madness and Civilization: Context
		Canguilhem was a historian of science who taught Foucault at the ENS in Paris.
		Foucault claimed that Canguilhem was a major influence over the original dissertation from which Madness and Civilization was drawn, a claim he always denied.
		Certainly, Canguilhem acted as an examiner of the thesis and academic patron.

	Amazon.com: The Normal and the Pathological: Books: Georges Canguilhem,Michel Foucault (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Canguilhem analyzes the radically new way in which health and disease were defined in the early 19th-century, showing that the emerging categories of the normal and the pathological were far from being objective scientific concepts.
		Canguilhem was an important influence on the thought of Michel Foucault and Louis Althusser, in particular for the way in which he poses the problem of how new domains of knowledge come into being and how they are part of a discontinuous history of human thought.
		Canguilhem was Foucault's teacher, and this book "The Normal and the Pathological," was the foundation for Foucault's theories of the sociohistorical construction of what constitutes normality.

		A further conference in memory of the French historian of medicine and biology Georges Canguilhem was held in London in September 1996, entitled 'The Normal and the Pathological: Life, Disease, Cure'.
		Horton, then, was looking to Canguilhem to support what was in some ways a traditional defence of clinical autonomy in the face of a reified set of decision-rules.
		In it, he starts from his most important premise that the objects of knowledge of the life sciences are different from those of physics and chemistry, and that this implies that the kind of knowledge biomedical investigation produces is also different.

	Who is Michel Foucault?
		Foucault became impressed with Marxism and existentialism during this period, having been exposed to the philosophy of both Hegel and Marx, but was later to change his position on both of these philosophical approaches.
		Foucault, in keeping with French tradition, studied the history and philosophy of science and Georges Canguilhem's work greatly inspired him.
		Through Canguilhem, Foucault became aware of and interested in the inconsistencies in scientific history.

	Cultronix 3
		In the language of Georges Canguilhem, medical historian and theorist, pathology is not simply disequilibrium, but rather "an effort on the part of nature to effect a new equilibrium..." (322).
		Further, a so-called pathological response is shown to be a "normative" response to a pathological situation.
		Both Villalobos Echeverria and DiBartolomeo work to transfigure cultural violence on their own bodies, echoing Canguilhem's assertion that "[t]o act, it is necessary at least to localize" (1).

		"In putting together these three short essays by Georges Canguilhem, I hope to be able to give some indication of the remarkable intellectual fruitfulness of the exchanges between Georges Canguilhem and Michel Foucault.
		Canguilhem's own work in the history and philosophy of science, which Foucault always recognized as an important source for some of his own books, contains a specific orientation and kind of analysis that has perhaps not yet been sufficiently exploited in the Anglo-American disciplines of science studies.
		More specifically, these essays by Canguilhem allow us to see the continuing importance of and extraordinary density of Foucault's Histoire de la folie, which, it is still hard to believe, has never been fully translated into English..."
