�valuation du vendeur 5 sur 5 �toiles

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of phrenology, a now largely discredited pseudoscience that sought to link personality traits and abilities to the shape and bumps on the skull. The author, writing in the early 20th century, passionately argues for the validity of phrenology, claiming it can offer insights into everything from mental health and criminal behavior to talent, relationships, and even the best diet for individual temperaments. Through detailed analysis of various head and face shapes, the book explores the supposedly inherent characteristics and capabilities of different people, ranging from the "sloping forehead" individual, prone to cynicism and materialism, to the "high forehead" dreamer, driven by idealism and reform. The book's approach reflects the broader societal fascination with character reading and the desire to classify and understand human nature, evident in the popularization of other methods like physiognomy and palmistry during that era. While now considered outdated and scientifically unfounded, this book offers a glimpse into a bygone era of scientific inquiry and the enduring human quest to decipher the intricacies of the mind and personality. The book's detailed observations and classifications, though ultimately based on flawed assumptions, offer a unique window into the cultural and intellectual landscape of its time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332056026_0
