Summary:
Georges Canguilhem (1904-1995) was one of France's foremost
historians of science. Trained as a medical doctor as well as a
philosopher, he combined these practices to demonstrate to
philosophers that there could be no epistemology without concrete
study of the actual development of the sciences and to historians
that there could be no worthwhile history of science without a
philosophical understanding of the conceptual basis of all knowledge.
A Vital Rationalist brings together for the first time a selection of
Canguilhem's most important writings, including excerpts from
previously unpublished manuscripts and a critical biography by
Camille Limoges.
