Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Une philosophie du vivant est affaire indecise, coincee entre chose et pensee, entre ceux qui optent pour le materialisme et ceux qui percoivent dans le vivant une ame ou un esprit, une realite spirituelle. Conscient des enjeux, Canguilhem le resistant, le libertaire, trace son chemin en signifiant, au besoin avec une pointe d’agressivite, qu’il ne glissera pas plus sur une pente que sur l’autre. Il refonde la reflexion sur le vivant, d’une maniere profondement originale, marquee par l’exigence de rigueur conceptuelle, par l’alliance de la philosophie et de l’histoire des sciences, et par une intelligence aigue de l’acte medical. Canguilhem, penseur aux intuitions abruptes, qu’il presentait avec une prudente modestie, avait a l’interieur de la profession une presence forte, mais il n’etait a aucun degre un philosophe mediatique ou mondain. Que reste-t-il de sa reflexion? Comment sa pensee est-elle recue par une nouvelle generation de philosophes qui ne l’ont pas connu personnellement, ni professionnellement? C’est ce que ce recueil, fruit d’un travail collectif, tente de preciser.
