As mentioned in a recent post on the excellent H-Madness, the most recent issue of Gesnerus – the Swiss Journal of the History of Medicine and Sciences – includes the review essay “Beyond the Normal and the Pathological: Recent Literature on Georges Canguilhem” by Stefanos Geroulanos.
Geroulanos, it is worth mentioning, has also collaborated with Somatosphere contributor Todd Meyers on a number of translations of Canguilhem’s work (like the recently published translation Knowledge of Life) and on a related book series for Fordham University Press entitled “Forms of Living.” The Gesnerus review should be of particular interest to English-language audiences as Geroulanos covers a number of recent French-language books on Canguilhem. These include:
- Braunstein, Jean-Franc?ois (e?d.), Canguilhem. Histoire des sciences et politique du vivant (Paris 2007)
Daled, Pierre F. (e?d.), L’envers de la raison. Alentour de Canguilhem. (Paris 2009) - Fagot-Largeault, Anne, Claude Debru, Michel Morange (dir.), Hee-Jin Han (e?d.), Philosophie et me?decine en hommage a? Georges Canguilhem (Paris 2008)
- Le Blanc, Guillaume, Les maladies de l’homme normal (Paris 2008)
- Lecourt, Dominique, Georges Canguilhem (Paris 2008)
