Maturana is an expert


One of the people I admire because he has been a contribution to the scientific community is Humberto Maturana, from biology created knowledge that currently is used to understand the human being even from psychology.

Humberto Maturana Romesín is a Chilean biologist and writer, born in September 1928 and is still alive. He studied at the University of Chile, London and Harvard, after finishing his studies abroad he returned to Chile to do research and was founded in the science faculty at the University of Chile. He has published more than 20 books and over 50 articles, and has received several national and international awards. He is currently the founder and former Matríztica School where he and others teach the ideas of Biology of knowing and loving.

He says that living beings are closed systems, are circular production networks, where interactions are produced in the same network that produced them, and are open to the flow of matter and energy. Therefore we are machines with the ability to self produce us.

Since that created and developed this concept of autopoiesis and biology knowledge was consolidated as a star in the area of ​​production of scientific knowledge and then was linking with other areas such as constructivist psychology
