Health: Crude Concept and Philosophical Question

Georges Canguilhem

In this essay Georges Canguilhem takes up this question within philosophy, science, and medicine, exposing the assumptions necessary for various notions of health to be activated in relation to the human organism—notions that are at best inexact.
