Abstract

New vitalism has established a connection between vitalism and ethos, maintaining a normative understanding of life that acknowledges opposing forces like pain, suffering, illness, and mortality as beneficial attitudes that enhance vitalism. I contend that the new vitalism holds a normative standpoint that is significant in Canghilhem's appreciation of life. This article explores the relationship between vitalism and ethos within the context of vitalist capitalism. In this article, I explain the connection between vitalism and ethos within the category of vitalist capitalism from a descriptive standpoint. This concept is fueled by four distinct philosophies, namely Christianity, Aristotelianism, Mechanism, and Biologicism, which all interact and produce a new form of lethalism.
