Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures on Phrenology, Delivered in the University of Paris, 1836 Aristotle, the disciple of Plato, appeared on the stage; he declares that ideas, ad mitted by his master. Are anterior to all human knowledge, but not innate; they are introduced through the medium of the senses, and become graven on the under standing, which the Grecian philosopher compares to a waxen tablet untouched by the stylus, or to a sheet of blank paper. This theory, though seemingly simple, was not implicitly received. Aristotle himself was compelled to admit the existence of passions, of torment derived from the ex ternal world, and deranging the regularity of impressions made on his blank surface. The Platonics were not content with this; they perceived that men act differently un der the influence of the same ideas; hence, even at this remote period. Was seen the. Ne cessity of admitting something concealed. Something above ideas, some innate dispo sition to employ ideas in a determinate manner. This remark was just; but to what did it lead? Where was this innate disposition placed? By the followers of Plato, in the mind, vaguely; but according to Aristotle, in the mind as seated in the brain. Thus, gentlemen, we arrive at the origin of theories on sentiments and instincts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
During the 1790s in Vienna, German physician Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828) came forth with a new doctrine dealing with mind, brain and behavior—one that could account for individual differences. He maintained that there are many independent faculties of mind, each associated with a separate part of the brain. He fine-tuned his ideas and published two sets of books presenting them after he and his assistant, Johann Gaspar Spurzheim, settled in Paris in 1807. Gall's ideas had many supporters but were controversial and unsettling to others. In particular, the opposition ridiculed his belief that skull features reflect the growth of specific, underlying cortical organs, and hence correlate with personality traits (i.e., his ‘bumpology’). Gall’s fundamental ideas about the mind and organization of the brain were debated across the globe, and they also began to be exploited by unscrupulous businessmen, ‘professors’ who ‘read skulls’ for a living. But, as some historians have shown, his ideas about mind, brain and behavior led to the modern neurosciences. The chapters collected in this volume provide new insights into Gall’s thinking and what Spurzheim did, and the faddish movement called ‘phrenology’, which originated as a science of humankind but became a popular source of entertainment. All chapters were originally published in various issues of the Journal of the History of the Neurosciences.
