Abstract
This article distinguishes between two different kinds of biological normativity. One is the 'objective' biological normativity of biological units discussed in anglophone philosophy of biology on the naturalization of such notions as function and pathology. The other is a 'subjective' biological normativity of the biological subject discussed in the continental tradition of Canguilhem and Goldstein. The existence of these two distinct kinds of biological normativity calls for a closer philosophical examination of their relationship. The aim of this paper is to address this omission in the literature and to initiate the construction of conceptual bridges that span the gaps between continental, analytic, and naturalist philosophy on biological normativity.
