The Normal and the Pathological is one of the crucial contributions to the history of science in the last half century. It takes as its starting point the sudden appearance of biology as a science in the nineteenth century and examines the conditions determining its particular makeup.
Canguilhem analyzes the radically new way in which health and disease were defined in the early nineteenth century, showing that the emerging categories of the normal and the pathological were far from objective scientific concepts. He demonstrates how the epistemological foundations of modern biology and medicine were intertwined with political, economic, and technological imperatives.
Canguilhem was an important influence on the thought of Michel Foucault and Louis Althusser, among others, in particular for the way in which he poses the problem of how new domains of knowledge come into being and how they are part of a discontinuous history of human thought.

福柯的老师，也是阿尔都塞以及布尔迪厄理论的启发者。从病理学到医学到生物学，从正常和非正常到标准和政治。总算明白身体政治的来源了，解惑。英文可读性强，尽管有些奇怪的医学术语，也有中文，翻译很一般，倒是图书馆前人做的旁注很精准，倒是帮我大大节约了时间。

Foucault's introduction is interesting but Canguihem should be read in his own merit.

痛苦又愉悦地（？）读完了 感觉normal&abnormal的区分才是本书的正经结论 结尾谈normal man's disease的。。。。是来搞笑的吧。。。。。。。
