Samuel R. Talcott is Associate Professor of Philosophy at University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, USA.
Fills a gap in the market: Few books explore the relationship between Georges Canguilhem and Michel Foucault, despite the significance of the relationship and Canguilhem’s influence on Foucault’s thought
Presents and represents the culmination of substantial new archival research, giving readers a view into Canguilhem’s unpublished courses on error, among other things
Will hold wide appeal for a broad range of scholars in various philosophy sub-disciplines (including history of philosophy, philosophy of medicine, philosophy of science, French continental philosophy, epistemology) as well as Foucault scholars
