Georges Canguilhem and the Philosophy of Biology Workshop

Part of the Philosophy and Practice workshop series at the School of History, Anthropology, Philosophy and Politics, Queen’s University Belfast

September 21, 2023. 27 University Square, Belfast, BT7 1PD. Room: 01/003 

This workshop addresses the work of the twentieth-century French philosopher George Canguilhem and assesses, in relation to his contexts and to ours, his responses to the most fundamental question in the philosophy of biology, namely the question of the nature of biological life. The event will serve to celebrate the new MA programme in Philosophy at Queen’s University Belfast (https://www.qub.ac.uk/courses/postgraduate-taught/philosophy-ma/) as well as the publication of the essay collection Canguilhem and Continental Philosophy of Biology, ed. G. Bianco, G. van de Vivjer and C. T. Wolfe (Springer, 2023).
