Abstract

In this paper we analyze the reception of the Annales school in the work of Georges Canguilhem. Usually scholars tend to emphasize the parallel and at the same time, the mutual ignorance among historians of the Annales group and representatives of the French historical epistemology (Cavaillès , Koyré , Bachelard , Canguilhem). The latter, however, is an exception, because he was very familiar with the work of what he called "team of Strasbourg" (Febvre, Bloch, Halbwachs). Using abundant unpublished sources, we try to prove that this meeting decisively affected the historical epistemology practiced by Canguilhem.
