English summary: As a young philosopher, Georges Canguilhem was particularly concerned with the unity of experience. The edition of Canguilhems early works demonstrates that the philosophical harmony between judgment and action was always at the heart of his thoughts, and he would never forget that the unity of experience was not a fact, but a value. Xavier Roth traces herein the philosophical sources of vital normativity, examining the relationship between Canguilhem, other great authors, Marxism, and even Michel Foucault. French description: Le jeune Canguilhem n’est ni epistemologue, ni historien des sciences. C’est un philosophe de tradition classique, qui se debat avec l’un des grands problemes de la philosophie: l’unite de l’experience. Comment unifier de maniere satisfaisante les deux fonctions humaines de connaissance et d’action? Faut-il admettre, a la suite d’Alain et de la philosophie reflexive, la subordination de l’agir au jugement? Ou bien doit-on reconnaitre, comme y incite l’examen normatif de l’activite technique, une forme d’irreductibilite de l’action a la connaissance objective? L’institution d’une harmonie philosophique entre le jugement et l’agir est au coeur des reflexions du jeune Canguilhem, lui qui n’oubliera jamais que l’unite de l’experience n’est pas un fait, mais une valeur. Durant un demi-siecle, on tint pour acquis que la bibliographie de Georges Canguilhem (1904-1995) s’ouvrait en 1943, avec l’Essai sur quelques problemes concernant le normal et le pathologique. La parution en 2011 du premier volume des OEuvres Completes, reunissant les textes publies de 1926 a 1939, constitue une invitation exceptionnelle pour rouvrir quelques problemes d’exegese qu’une investigation limitee aux ecrits de la maturite pouvait avoir clos. Cet ouvrage entend retracer les sources philosophiques du concept de normativite vitale, en examinant les rapports de Canguilhem aux grands auteurs (Kant, Descartes et Bergson), au marxisme, ou encore a Michel Foucault.
