Omschrijving

Reflections On Gall And Spurzheim��s System Of Physiognomy And Phrenology is a book written by John Abernethy in 1821. The book is a critical analysis of the physiognomy and phrenology system developed by Franz Joseph Gall and Johann Spurzheim. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a brief history of the development of physiognomy and phrenology and the key principles of these systems. The second part is a critical analysis of the system and its limitations. Abernethy argues that the system is flawed because it is based on the assumption that the size and shape of the brain determine human behavior and personality traits. Abernethy also criticizes the lack of scientific evidence to support the system and the subjective nature of the interpretations made by practitioners. He suggests that the system is more of an art than a science and that it should not be used to make important decisions about individuals or society. Overall, Reflections On Gall And Spurzheim��s System Of Physiognomy And Phrenology is an important critique of a popular pseudoscientific system that was widely used in the 19th century. The book provides valuable insights into the limitations of physiognomy and phrenology and the importance of scientific evidence in developing theories about human behavior and personality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
