The essay analyses some aspects of Canguilhem’s philosophy against the backdrop of the Anthropocene scenario. It focuses especially on three conceptual nodes. The first is technology. This is the central theme in Canguilhem’s 1973 lecture on ecology and, according to the author, the Leitmotiv of Canguilhemian philosophy. The second is philosophy of values and normativity. The author addresses the question of Canguilhemian perspectivism in an ecological key. The third is individuality: what “individual” means, and how to rethink the inter-individual relationship in the light of the social metaphors of “organism” and “machine”. In the conclusion, the author addresses a philosophical issue that is central in reflections on ecology and the Anthropocene, namely the relationship between nature and culture.
