In his speech titled "Normality and Pathology in a Biomedical Era," Nikolas Rose starts from the fundamental distinction between the normal and the pathological—as introduced into French epistemology by Georges Canguilhem—to examine contemporary developments in molecular biology, neuroscience, and psychopharmacology.
This examination brings to the forefront, renewed through the historical perspective and critical view of the present, the crucial ethical and ontological questions for every subject thrown into the world of the 21st century, namely for every modern "genomic biological citizen."
“Are you normal? We all know the layers of meanings and judgments that intertwine within a question like this: the normal as average, typical, physically and mentally healthy, statistically close to the average in a population. Hence these associations provoked by its opposite, the pathological: morbid, deviant, dangerous. These terms weave together different ways of judgment—statistical, social, medical, moralistic, ethical.” (Nikolas Rose)
