Coles The Pocket Lavater; or, The Science of Physiognomy at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
"The Pocket Lavater; or, The Science of Physiognomy" is a fascinating exploration of the art and science of reading human character through facial features and expressions. Authored by Johann Caspar Lavater, a Swiss pastor and philosopher, this work delves into the belief that one's physical appearance can reveal inner qualities and personality traits. Lavater's ideas were influenced by earlier thinkers like Giambattista della Porta, who also examined the connections between physical attributes and character, making this book a significant contribution to the study of physiognomy and its cultural implications.***The book combines philosophical insights with practical observations, offering readers a guide to interpreting the faces of those around them. Lavater's engaging prose invites readers to consider how features such as the shape of the nose or the curve of the lips can signify deeper emotional and moral truths. While the scientific validity of physiognomy has been widely debated, the work remains a captivating historical document that reflects the Enlightenment's fascination with human nature and the quest for understanding the self through outward appearances.
