Strictures on Phrenological Doctrines Upon the Human Intellect: In a Letter Addressed to Dr. Spurzheim (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is a critique of the emerging science of phrenology, an early 19th-century practice that sought to map personality characteristics onto bumps on the skull. The author argues that the mind is a product of experience and education, not anatomy. By tracing the intellectual and moral development of individuals, the author arrives at a concept of the mind as infinitely moldable and infinitely capable, one in which all humans are endowed with equal potential. The book makes a strong case for the importance of education and the equality of human potential. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of psychology, the nature of the mind, or the power of education.
