Abstract

Resumen: El presente articulo desarrolla un examen respecto de los principales aspectos a considerar en el análisis que las filosofías de G. Canguilhem y de M. Foucault destinan al problema de la locura. El texto estipula las condiciones filosóficas de aproximación que ambos autores elaboran para pensar el problema de las normas en el ámbito vital y social. La pregunta: ¿qué es un loco? se convierte entonces en la cuestión de las prácticas sociales y políticas que se han desarrollado respecto de los locos y la locura, evidenciando la relevancia que Canguilhem y Foucault conceden al problema de las normas, ya sea en un marco de comprensión ontológico y/o histórico-político. Abstract: The present article develops an examination of the main aspects to be considered in the analysis that the philosophies of G. Canguilhem and M. Foucault devote to the problem of madness. The text stipulates the philosophical conditions of approach that both authors elaborate on to think about the problem of norms in the vital and social sphere. The question: what is crazy? then becomes the question of the social and political practices that have been developed concerning madmen and madness, evidencing the relevance that Canguilhem and Foucault give to the problem of norms, either in an ontological and/or historical-political framework of understanding.
