Recenzii
Thanks to the translation and careful introduction by Stefanos Geroulanos and Todd Meyers, this precious posthumoulsy edited collection of essays by Georges Canguilhem is now accessible to the English reader. Canguilhem's late writings on medicine form an important complement to his works on the history and epistemology of the life sciences as assembled in his Etudes and in his late work on Rationality and Ideology in the Life Sciences.Hans-Jorg Rheinberger
Celebrated as historian of the life sciences and epistemologist of the normal and the pathological, Georges Canguilhem, in this series of little known essays, proves also to be a critical observer of medicine and a reflexive analyst of the concept of health. One should be grateful to Stefanos Geroulanos and Todd Meyers for continuing their systematic translation of the often dispersed but coherent works of the French philosopher, whose influence on major contemporary thinkers and social scientists is increasingly acknowledged.-Didier Fassin
"Canguilhem's Writings on Medicine is a short book that every dean of every medical school and every school of public health should consider as required reading for their students. . . . It is the very best introduction available to Canguilhem's ideas--ideas that remain coordinates for navigating some of the most troubling questions in contemporary medicine. . . . If you like thinking about medicine as well as doing it, Canguilhem offers rich rewards."-Richard Horton, The Lancet
"If you like thinking about medicine as well as doing it, Canguilhem offers rich rewards." -The Lancet
"For those who want insight on science and philosophy in the field of medicine, "Writings on Medicine" is a strong addition to college library essay collections."-Midwest Book Review
"Such a collection will undoubtedly further Canguilhem scholarship and provide valuable contributions to various contemporary debates within the life sciences, from the relation between e

The beauty of Canguilhem's definition of health-of normality-is that it includes the animate and inanimate environment, as well as the physical, mental, and social dimensions of human life. It puts the individual patient, not the doctor, in a position of self-determining authority to define his or her health needs. The doctor becomes a partner in delivering those needs. Canguilhem's definition is liberating. Adaptability frees us to be agile in the face of shifting forces that shape the wellbeing of individuals and populations. Canguilhem's definition also allows us to respond to disease globally, taking account of the context of conditions in a particular place, as well as time.-The Lancet
