The aim of this research project is to understand, delimit, investigate, and assess the specificity of the problem of life today. To say that life is a problem is to recognize that it is constituted by a series of internal tensions, the ethical and political consequences of which we intend to analyze and question. In each case, and at every stage of their various evolutions, those tensions produce and/or open up specific modes of knowledge and regimes of power. Such is the reason why the philosophical approach, which governs this research project, intersects with that of the historian, the epistemologist, and the clinician.This project involves the participation of the European Partners of the ENCFP, The Centre for the History of Medicine at the University of Warwick, and The Health Sciences Research Institute (HSRI) at the Warwick Medical School.
