Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of how the face reveals the mind, and how the outward form reflects the inward character. This study has a long history. The author cites ancient techniques and references to the subject in ancient texts, discusses the decline of the art, and outlines the renewed interest in modern times in the field of psychology. Facial expressions correspond to mental states and dispositions, and the author's aim is to link particular lines and configurations of the face to particular qualities of mind and character, creating a 'physiognomical art', to be used as an aid to understanding the true nature of those around us. This book will be invaluable to students of the mind, whether amateur or professional, and to anyone wishing to use a scientific approach to understanding the relationship between mind and body.
