GUZIK GLANTZ, Ruth. Relaciones de un científico mexicano con el extranjero: el caso de Arturo Rosenblueth. RMIE [online]. 2009, vol.14, n.40, pp.43-67. ISSN 1405-6666.

This article describes the contributions Mexican physiologist and philosopher of science Arturo Rosenblueth made to scientific production, to reflections on the philosophy of science, and to the training of North American, European, and Latin American researchers in the medical schools of Mexico, La Sorbonne, and Harvard (1918-1945). Also studied is his work at Mexico's National Institute of Cardiology and the Center of Research and Advanced Studies (1945-1970) in the framework of the complex labor conditions experienced by the scientists of his time. Emphasis is placed on Rosenblueth's relations and scientific production with physiologist Walter B. Cannon and mathematician Norbert Wiener, with whom he held new discussions in the fields of neurophysiology and cybernetics. The article is based on archival documents, bibliographical sources of the past and present, and interviews.
