GRANA-ARAMBURU, José Alejandro. Daniel Alcides Carrión: a functional view. Acta méd. peruana [online]. 2015, vol.32, n.3, pp.177-183. ISSN 1728-5917.

A close vision is directed towards Daniel Alcides Carrión, hero of the Peruvian Medicine and the nation, from the point of view of phenomenology, both philosophical and psychological, considering more like a social vision that an individual phenomenon, under the influence of currents of thought prevailing at the late nineteenth century. Both romanticism and positivism were of European origin but definitely influenced in Peru at the time of Carrion and certainly had largely to do with his decision to self-experimentation. Special mention to its pioneering role is made as a clinical researcher and the need to complete those events that were part of the operation of the hero in the corresponding historical period.

Palabras clave : Daniel Alcides Carrión; autoexperimentation; inoculation; hero; medicine; nation; Peru; psychology; philosophy; view.
