| Description | This book gives a very good and finely illustrated overview of the history of Phrenology and related doctrines throught the ages. It goes beyond the mere anatomical and cranial characteristics and offers an interesting contemporary approach, developing Phrenology into a tool of self-perfection and self-control through the harmonisation of the different faculties. According to the author, "Phrenology provides a philosophical view of the innate capacities of human nature. The Phrenological head is a symbol of how character can be divided in individual faculties and how harmony can be achieved within ourselves and in relation to external circumstances. Phrenology declares that this harmony is open to all mankind." |
