abstract |
Although in the last decades increasingly more philosophers have paid attention to
the life sciences, traditionally physics has dominated general philosophy of science.
Does a focus on the life sciences and medicine produce a different philosophy of science
and indeed a different conception of knowledge? Here Cristina Chimisso does not attempt
to give a comprehensive answer to this question; rather, she presents a case study
focussed on Georges Canguilhem. Canguilhem continued the philosophical tradition that
we now call historical epistemology, and always referred very closely to the philosophy
of Gaston Bachelard. However, whereas Bachelard primarily studied the history of chemistry
and physics, Canguilhem turned to the life sciences, medicine and psychiatry. Chimisso
investigates their respective conceptions and uses of norms. Chimisso argues that
some crucial differences in how they regarded norms, seldom emphasised by Canguilhem
himself and indeed by critics, stem from the sciences on which they concentrated. |
