Its primary purpose, then, is to chart the main themes of Canguilhem's thought, which is distinguished by minute atten­ tion to developments in biology and medicine over the past fifty years. To achieve this end, importance was given to questions of methodology in the history of science. This in itself was neces­ sary because the object of historical discourse is not scientificdis­ course as such but the historicity of scientific discourse insofar as it represents the implementation of an epistemological proj­ ect (projet de savoir). If the history of science is the history of a discourse subject to the norm of critical rectification, then it is clearly a branch of epistemology.· Canguilhem recognizes that the disciplines whose history he writes give the appearance of a gen­ esis, that is, a process opposed to the diversity of the various forms of pseudo-science. This, in fact, is the source of his interest in epistemological breaks. Studying the history of an activity itself definedby its reference to truth as an epistemological value forces one to focus attention ·on both the failures and successes of that activity. Taking a macroscopic view of the history of science, 9 A VITAL RATIONALIST Canguilhem undertook to study the emergence of three disci­ plines: biology, physiology and medicine. Depending on the sub­ ject of study, Canguilhem will sometimes provide a history of theory, sometimes a history of concepts and sometimes a history of biological objects. But the objective is always the same: to describe how ideology and science are at once intertwined and separate. Further, his studies of Rene Descartes, Auguste Comte and Claude Bernard clearly reveal why, as Louis Althusser once put it, Canguilhem is considered one of the best "teachers of how to read works of philosophy and science." The reader, we assume, will not be surprised that the present work ends with a series of general questions concerning the relation of knowledge to life and of the normal to the pathological. Canguilhem began with error and on that basis posed the philosophical problem of truth and life.For Michel Foucault, this approach constituted "one of the crucial events in the history of modernphilosop hy." 10 Introduction: A Vi tal Rationa list Paul Rabinow Georges Canguilhem was born in Castelnaudary in southwest­ ern France on June 4, 1904. Although his father was a tailor, Canguilhem likes to refer to himself, not without a certain twinkle in his eye, as being of peasant stock, rooted in the har­ monious, cyclical life of the soil and the seasons, his sensibilities formedby the yearly round of the fruittrees. The story of his sen­ timental education is a classic one. High marks on national exam- . inations sent him on a journey to Paris to study; once there, he was a great success. After completing his studies at the prestigious Lycee Henri IV, he entered the most elite educational institution in France, the Ecole Nonnale Superieure, in 1924. Among his promotion, his cohort, were Jean-Paul Sartre, Raymond Aron and Paul Nizan; Maurice Merleau-Ponty entered the Ecole a year later. Already at this time, Canguilhem was interested in themes that he would return to and develop throughout his intellectual life: in particular, a paper on Auguste Comte's theory of order and progress, which Canguilhem submitted fora diploma� displays the beginnings of this persistent interest in the relation of rea­ son and society - an interest he shared with his other distin­ guished classmates but which Canguilhem developed in a highly original manner. The philosopher Alain's judgment of Canguilhem II A VITAL RATIONALIST in 1924 as "lively, resolute and content" still captures the man's spirit almost three-quarters of a century later.1 Once he became a9re9e in philosophy in 1927, the young Canguilhem began his teaching tour of provincial lycees, as was required of all Ecole Normale graduates in repayment to the state for their education. His initial peregrinations ended in 1936 in Toulouse, where he taught at!rthe lycee, while beginning his medical training. In 1940, he resigned from his teaching post, because, as he wrote the Rector of the Academie de Toulouse, he hadn't become an agrege in philosophy in order to preach the doctrine of the Vichy regime.2 He took advantage of his newly found free time to complete his medical studies. Prophetically, in both a philosophic and political .s.ense, Canguilhem replaced Jean Cavailles, the philosopher of mathematics - he had been called to the Sorbonne - at the University of Strasbourg, which relocated to Clermont-Ferrand in 1941, when Strasbourg was annexed by the Reich. He participated in the formation of an important resistance group to which he made available his skills. All in all, a life in the century, as the French say: like so many of his compatriots, Canguilhem's lifewas shaped by the conjunc­ ture of France's enduring institutions and the contingent events of his time. In 1943, Canguilhem defended his medical thesis, "Essais sur qtielques problemes concemant le normal et le pathologique." The continued timeliness and exceptional durability of this work is attested to by the fact that he updated it twenty years later with significantnew reflections, andthat it was translated into English decades late'r as The Normal and th e Pa th olo9icaJ.3 After the war, he resumed his post at the University of Strasbourg (in Strasbourg), where he remained until 1948. After firstrefusing the important administrative post of inspecteur general de phi­ losophie at the Liberation, he finally accepted it in 1948, and 12 INTRODUCTION served until 1955, when he accepted the Chair of History and Philosophy of Sciences at the Sorbonne and succeeded Gaston Bachelard as director of the lnstitut d'histoire des sciences et des techniques. His reputation as a ferocious examiner lives on in Paris today, as does � deep well of affection forthe intellectual and institutional support he provided over the decades.4 History and Philosophy of Science Louis Althusser paid Canguilhem a compliment when he com­ pared him (as well as Cavailles, Bachelard, Jules Vuillemin and Michel Foucault) to an anthropologist who goes into the field armed with "a scrupulous respect forthe reality of real science."5 The comparison is revealing if not quite an accurate description of Canguilhem's method. More strictly ethnographic studies of laboratory life, like those of Bruno Latour, would come later and would aim not merely at correcting a positivist and idealist understanding of science as a single unified activity achieving a cumulative understanding of nature, but also at dismantling the very idea of science - a position as farfrom Canguilhem's as one could imagine.

Though the change in his thought was an important one, it is not clear that this change should be regarded as an example of extraordinary intellectual flexibility for a scientist of that age. Prominent in Lamarck's coming to believe in evolution was his refusal to relinquish certain major concepts which he had cherished for a long time and which were coming under increasing attack at the end of the eighteenth century.

  • THE TRUTH GAME (Silvan Mühlemann, Geneva 2019)
    THE TRUTH GAME (Silvan Mühlemann, Geneva 2019) 1 I. DEFENDING AXIOMATIC-DEDUCTIVE SCIENCE ( ) 1. CHOOSING ONE’S AXIOMS: THE EPISTEMOLOGY OF HAPPINESS. According to Karl Popper2, science begins with falsifiable hypotheses. These hypotheses are, as explained by Ashish Dalela, chosen as a function of happiness they provide us. It is intuitively clear that happiness, not truth, is the highest goal in life. “To know the truth we must know the good, but to pick the good, we must desire that good. Ultimately, our cognition of truth depends on our desire. If that desire is modified, then the truths are modified. Similarly, happiness is produced only when the desires are fulfilled. Therefore, if you find the thing that you desire, then you have the double satisfaction of finding truth and goodness. Your brain tells you that you have found the truth, and your heart tells you that you have fulfilled your desire. If you tell a happy person that his ideas about the world are false, he will most likely ignore you, because he knows that since he is happy he must be doing something correctly, and consequently his beliefs must also be true. On the other hand, if you tell an unhappy person that he is suffering because of his false beliefs, and that he must change his beliefs in order to find happiness, he is more likely to listen to your arguments. In short, new knowledge doesn’t come when you are happy, because there is complacency whereby one’s current beliefs are accepted as true just because one is already happy and contented.

  • Mathematical Modeling and Anthropology: Its Rationale, Past Successes and Future Directions
    Mathematical Modeling and Anthropology: Its Rationale, Past Successes and Future Directions Dwight Read, Organizer European Meeting on Cybernetics and System Research 2002 (EMCSR 2002) April 2 - 5, 2002, University of Vienna http://www.ai.univie.ac.at/emcsr/ Abstract When anthropologists talk about their discipline as a holistic study of human societies, particularly non-western societies, mathematics and mathematical modeling does not immediately come to mind, either to persons outside of anthropology and even to most anthropologists. What does mathematics have to do with the study of religious beliefs, ideologies, rituals, kinship and the like? Or more generally, What does mathematical modeling have to do with culture? The application of statistical methods usually makes sense to the questioner when it is explained that these methods relate to the study of human societies through examining patterns in empirical data on how people behave. What is less evident, though, is how mathematical thinking can be part of the way anthropologists reason about human societies and attempt to make sense of not just behavioral patterns, but the underlying cultural framework within which these behaviors are embedded. What is not widely recognized is the way theory in cultural anthropology and mathematical theory have been brought together, thereby constructing a dynamic interplay that helps elucidate what is meant by culture, its relationship to behavior and how the notion of culture relates to concepts and theories developed not only in anthropology but in related disciplines. The interplay is complex and its justification stems from the kind of logical inquiry that is the basis of mathematical reasoning.

Barnes been told and retold for many years and in many ways. On the palm side of each person’s hands and on the soles of each person’s feet are prominent skin features that single him or her out from everyone else in the world. These fea- tures are present in friction ridge skin which leaves behind impressions of its shapes when it comes into contact with an object. The impressions from the last finger joints are known as fingerprints. Using fingerprints to identify indi- viduals has become commonplace, and that identification role is an invaluable tool worldwide. What some people do not know is that the use of friction ridge skin impressions as a means of identification has been around for thousands of years and has been used in several cultures. Friction ridge skin impressions were used as proof of a person’s identity in China perhaps as early as 300 B.C., in Japan as early as A.D. 702, and in the United States since 1902. 1.2 Ancient History Earthenware estimated to be 6000 years old was discov- ered at an archaeological site in northwest China and found to bear clearly discernible friction ridge impressions.

  • Remake Remodel
    This is the new version of s���. Since the most recent issue, no. 29–30 (2010), we have had to cope with the diffi cult problem of having our funding from the Swedish Cultural Council reduced Remake by two thirds. While for decades this government body has been )VNCPMEU a major and generous source for Swedish cultural journals, and 6OJWFSTJUZ has made it possible for a small country like Sweden to sustain a JOSVJOT 1IPUP Remodel highly diverse publication ecology, recent shifts seem to intro- )BOT(OUIFS duce a diff erent policy. 2VBTDIJOTLZ The drastic cuts were made for reasons that to us appeared obscure: the offi cial explanation cannot be deemed as anything but intellectually vacuous — the funding was cut down because of the journal’s “low quality,” a judgment not accompanied by any further exemplifi cations or explanations. Since then we have been forced to remake and remodel our way of working, which as such need not be a negative thing. Instead of publishing in a tabloid format, we have switched to a more book-like format that makes it possible to continue inter- national distribution in a more effi cient way, and in the end hopefully makes the journal easier to buy for readers inside, as well as outside, of Sweden. s��� will henceforth be available from most Internet booksellers, selected bookstores, and will be easy to order in those who will not keep us in stock. The necessity of remaking and remodeling is however not restricted to journals. In recent years the European univer- sity system has been aff ected by major changes due to fi nancial restrictions and policy changes that seem to directly target teaching and research in the humanities.

    parrhesia 31 · 2019 parrhesia 31 · 2019 · 1-16 gaston bachelard and contemporary philosophy massimiliano simons, jonas rutgeerts, anneleen masschelein and paul cortois1 There are philosophers whose name sounds familiar, but who very few people know in more than a vague sense. And there are philosophers whose footprints are all over the recent history of philosophy, but who themselves have retreated somewhat in the background. Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962) is a bit of both. With- out doubt, he was one of the most prominent French philosophers in the first half of the 20th century, who wrote over twenty books, covering domains as diverse as philosophy of science, poetry, art and metaphysics. His ideas profoundly influ- enced a wide array of authors including Georges Canguilhem, Gilbert Simondon, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Bruno Latour and Pierre Bourdieu. Up until the 1980s, Bachelard’s work was widely read by philosophers, scientists, literary theo- rists, artists, and even wider audiences and in his public appearances he incar- nated one of the most iconic and fascinating icons of a philosopher. And yet, surprisingly, in recent years the interest in Bachelard’s theoretical oeuvre seems to have somewhat waned. Apart from some recent attempts to revive his thinking, the philosopher’s oeuvre is rarely discussed outside specialist circles, often only available for those able to read French.2 In contemporary Anglo-Saxon philosophy the legacy of Bachelard seems to consist mainly in his widely known book Poetics of Space. While some of Bachelard’s contemporaries, like Georges Canguilhem or Gilbert Simondon (see Parrhesia, issue 7), who were profoundly influenced by Bachelard, have been rediscovered, the same has not happened for Bachelard’s philosophical oeuvre.

  • Sacredness in an Experimental Chamber
    BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2006) 29, 161–209 Printed in the United States of America Moneyastool,moneyasdrug:The biological psychology of a strong incentive Stephen E. G. Lea University of Exeter, School of Psychology, Washington Singer Laboratories, Exeter EX4 4QG, United Kingdom [email protected] http://www.exeter.ac.uk/SEGLea Paul Webley University of Exeter, School of Psychology, Washington Singer Laboratories, Exeter EX4 4QG, United Kingdom [email protected] http://www.exeter.ac.uk/pwebley Abstract: Why are people interested in money? Specifically, what could be the biological basis for the extraordinary incentive and reinforcing power of money, which seems to be unique to the human species? We identify two ways in which a commodity which is of no biological significance in itself can become a strong motivator. The first is if it is used as a tool, and by a metaphorical extension this is often applied to money: it is used instrumentally, in order to obtain biologically relevant incentives. Second, substances can be strong motivators because they imitate the action of natural incentives but do not produce the fitness gains for which those incentives are instinctively sought. The classic examples of this process are psychoactive drugs, but we argue that the drug concept can also be extended metaphorically to provide an account of money motivation. From a review of theoretical and empirical literature about money, we conclude that (i) there are a number of phenomena that cannot be accounted for by a pure Tool Theory of money motivation; (ii) supplementing Tool Theory with a Drug Theory enables the anomalous phenomena to be explained; and (iii) the human instincts that, according to a Drug Theory, money parasitizes include trading (derived from reciprocal altruism) and object play.
