Georges Canguilhem (1904–1995) was a French philosopher and historian of science, best known for his contributions to the philosophy of biology and medicine. He is celebrated for his work on the concepts of life, health, illness, and the epistemological foundations of the biological sciences. Canguilhem is particularly noted for his claim that the concept of health must be understood in the context of individual variability and capacities rather than as a fixed norm.
