Historical Epistemology”

Abstract: Although the term ‘historical epistemology’ has been used to indicate more than one cluster of research projects, it was originally coined by Dominique Lecourt as a label for the French philosophical tradition associated with Gaston Bachelard and Georges Canguilhem. I shall discuss historical epistemology in this original sense. I shall argue that the philosophical significance of historical epistemology would be even greater if historians of philosophy, first, properly distinguished Bachelard’s and Canguilhem’s respective philosophies, and, second, considered often neglected historical epistemologists, including Léon Brunschvicg, EÉmile Meyerson, Hélène Metzger, Abel Rey and Lucien Lévy-Bruhl. I shall also argue that historical epistemology offers interesting historiographical models to the historically-minded historian of philosophy.

The second talk is scheduled for April 2 (10.30 a.m.) in Sala Paci, please find below the title and abstract. Everybody is welcome!

Normal: Georges Canguilhem on medicine and the individual

The boundary between what is considered normal and what is considered
pathological is not stable, and in some cases is highly controversial. Is there a right way of drawing this distinction? And who should decide whether a state is normal or pathological? The philosopher Georges Canguilhem (1904-1995) provided original answers to these questions. I shall discuss them, and argue that they can still play an important role in our current debates. At the same time, I shall indicate some of their limitations.

Le Centre documentaire du CAPHÉS a le plaisir d’accueillir à l’ENS depuis plusieurs années l’équipe éditoriale qui s’est constituée autour de l’entreprise des Œuvres complètes de Georges Canguilhem. Après la publication de trois des six tomes, l’équipe du CAPHÉS souhaite réunir quelques anciens élèves de Georges Canguilhem et participants à l’entreprise éditoriale pour évoquer la question de la transmission : témoignages d’anciens élèves, travail des éditeurs de textes à partir des archives, ou comment les Œuvres complètes donnent à voir les « traces du métier » du professeur de philosophie qu’a tenu à être Georges Canguilhem.
