Publisher's Synopsis
"Essays on Physiognomy; Calculated to Extend the Knowledge and the Love of Mankind, Volume 3" by Johann Caspar Lavater, originally published in 1797, delves into the intricate art and science of physiognomy. Lavater's comprehensive work explores the belief that one can discern character and intelligence through facial features and bodily form. This volume continues Lavater's detailed examination, offering insights into the nuances of human expression and their correlation with inner qualities. Lavater's essays, deeply rooted in Enlightenment-era philosophy and scientific inquiry, provide a fascinating glimpse into the historical understanding of human nature and the methods employed to interpret it. His work remains significant for its influence on fields ranging from literature and art to criminology and psychology. This volume is an essential resource for scholars and enthusiasts interested in the history of science, philosophy, and the study of human expression.
