“Alexandre Koyré and Georges Canguilhem” – audio recording of my talk to workshop ‘On Concrete Human Problems’: Georges Canguilhem on Medicine and the Human Sciences, University of Bristol, 26 September 2024

Thanks to Federico Testa and Pierre-Olivier Méthot for the invitation. I don’t think the other papers were recorded, but I think the plan is for at least some of them to be published.

I wrote about Canguilhem in a book of that title published by Polity in 2019. This piece, though, is a continuation of some work I’ve been doing on Koyré over the past year.

My article “Alexandre Koyré and the Collège de France” is now available online first in History of European Ideas, and it’s open access.

I say what I’ve found about one of his teaching positions in Koyré in Cairo, and about some of the archival links to Georges Canguilhem and Jean Gottmann – the first of which informed this paper.
