Canguilhem, normativity, epistemology, aesthetics and styleAbstract
This article refers to the concept of “biological normativity” by Georges Canguilhem, historian and epistemologist of the life sciences, based on a critical comparison with scientists and crucial themes from the history of contemporary natural sciences. Scientists such as Erwin Schrödinger and François Jacob, among others, and topics such as order, disorder, entropy, negentropy, catalysis, among others. Such comparison, in addition to clarifying and situating the notion of normativity, supported a reflection on the origin, regime, and destiny of life, in a word, its vitality. As a result, it was possible to consider it from an aesthetic perspective. A result that encouraged the application of the aesthetic point of view to human doing and its social consequences, more than that, it encouraged an expectation, just outlined, of political action in the condition of deviation and singularity, that is, as the exercise of a normative lifestyle in society.
