The Concept Problem in the History of Science: George Canguillam as a Model

Abstract

The research aims to study the concept problem in the history of science, by considering George Canguillam as a model. The research was divided into an introduction and three axes: first, the concept and life: the dialectic of continuous reproduction, second, the concept of reflex and the legitimacy of affiliation, third, disease as a positive concept of life. The research concluded that the concept in the history of science for Canguillam is characterized by becoming, and the distinction between concepts is not based on a difference in the subject of each concept or its source, but rather based on the specificity of each one of them, In terms of the source, it is one, which is the mind, and in terms of the subject, it differs according to the field in which each concept operates, and the theoretical practice of the concept as the originator of the concepts and their order by definition does not give it the right to transfer from one field to another; because in the first stage of use, there is no concern for thought except with its own creativity, which takes the concept as a rationale for meaning and a proof for revealing.
