On ruled fields
Séminaire de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Série 2, Tome 1 (1989) no. 1, pp. 27-49.

Nous discutons de quelques résultats et problèmes en relation avec les fondements de la théorie des extensions rationnelles de corps d'une ou plusieurs variables.

Some results and problems that arise in connection with the foundations of the theory of ruled and rational field extensions are discussed.
