Canguilhem and the history of biology / Canguilhem et l'histoire de la biologie

Abstract

RÉSUMÉ. — Pour de nombreuses raisons et à juste titre, Georges Canguilhem est considéré comme l'auteur le plus important de notre époque dans le domaine de l'histoire de la biologie. Son association de l'histoire de la biologie et de la philosophie fut décisive dans la détermination de son héritage pour notre discipline. Canguilhem était redevable aussi bien au positivisme historiciste de Comte qu'à l'idéalisme historiciste de Kant. Sa dette à l'égard de Comte le rend plus proche de l'empirisme anglais que beaucoup d'historiens des sciences anglophones actuels. La manière dont Canguilhem, comme Kant, se concentre sur les concepts restreint son programme d'historien. Sa réticence à l'égard de l'analyse des institutions, des intérêts, des intentions et des influences restreint également son programme. Si nous souhaitons dépasser les limites attachées à l'héritage historiographique de Canguilhem, nous devons vaincre les obstacles résultant des diverses divisions du travail universitaire. C'est alors seulement que nous pourrons disposer d'une historiographie pluraliste et holistique pour la biologie, d'une historiographie qui puisse accorder à l'héritage de Canguilhem sa véritable place.
