Canguilhem and Continental Philosophy of Biology: History, Philosophy and Theory of the Life Sciences, cartea 31

Editat de Giuseppe Bianco, Charles T. Wolfe, Gertrudis Van de Vijver
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 feb 2024
This edited volume presents papers on this alternative philosophy of biology that could be called “continental philosophy of biology,” and the variety of positions and solutions that it has spawned. In doing so, it contributes to debates in the history and philosophy of science and the history of philosophy of science, as well as to the craving for ‘history’ and/or ‘theory’ in the theoretical biological disciplines. In addition, however, it also provides inspiration for a broader image of philosophy of biology, in which these traditional issues may have a place. The volume devotes specific attention to the work of Georges Canguilhem, which is central to this alternative tradition of “continental philosophy of biology”. This is the first collection on Georges Canguilhem and the Continental tradition in philosophy of biology. The book should be of interest to philosophers of biology, continental philosophers, historians of biology and those interested in broader traditions in philosophy of science.

Gertrudis Van de Vijver is Full Professor at the department of Philosophy and Moral Sciences of Ghent University. She was awarded her PhD in philosophy from this university in 1988. Since receiving her PhD, she was post-doctoral researcher and research director at Ghent University until she became a professor there in 2000. Her research is mainly on the epistemological implications of issues of complexity, self-organization and teleology in the life sciences, in psychology and in the study of cognition. For this, she developed a transcendental approach to the philosophy of biology, centring on the idea of co-constitution. In addition, she does research on other aspects and implications of transcendental philosophy, and on the connections of psychoanalytic theory with epistemology and philosophy of language.

He has worked on the history of concepts, problems, authors, texts, intellectual clusters, chairs, educational systems and, in general, cultural objects that have to do with philosophy. He is the author of Après Bergson (Puf, 2015), he edited books on the history 20th century French philosophy and a monographic issue of the Revue philosophique on Georges Canguilhem (Georges Canguilhem. Les traces du métier).  He was part, along with Gertrudis Van de Vijver and Charles T. Wolfe of two research projects dealing with the relation between philosophy and the life-sciences (both funded by the Flanders Research Foundation and based at Ghent University): "Vitalism. A counter-history of biology" (2019-2022) and "Human life? From philosophy of life to philosophical anthropology" (2022-225). He was the recipient of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual grant for his research project INTERPHIL, “The international congresses and the transnational shaping of philosophy (1900-1948).” The project will start in 2023 and will involve the collaboration between Cà Foscari University and the University of Québec in Montréal (UQAM). He is currently writing a book on Gilles Deleuze.
