Georges Canguilhem on Normality - Dictionary of Arguments

Krastev I 49
Normality/Canguilhem/Krastev: In The Normal and the Pathological (1966)(1), the French philosopher and physician Georges Canguilhem explains that the concept of ‘normality’ has a double meaning, one descriptive and the other normative. ‘Normal’ can refer to practices that are factually widespread or to practices that are morally ideal. >Normality/Politics/Krastev.
